Please Help, new user to Ubuntu, using 8.10, computer froze, did a restart, and now I cannot get this OS to startup. It's just frozen in Dos, cannot get into startup option before OS load.

not sure what the tty is? But I checked the computer later in the evening, and it just suddenly started to work? Maybe the system was protecting me from an attack? I don't know? :lolflag: but thank you.

TTY refers to terminal and if you want to get more info about tty go to the applications>accessories>terminal and type


man tty

or


info tty
