Hi
I have a destop which is an IBM ThinkCentre. Recently I ran uburntu 9.10 but I have tried to upgrade to 10.4 Lucid. It took a week long to download and another week to install. I don't remember after it finished to install and asked me to do? Because it asked me there are 300 old files which are not compatible so what I need to do with them? keep or remove? Unfortunately, I don't know in computer, and also for the fear to loose Asterisk files, I click on "KEEP". Therefore, the system continues to clean my folders and files...thus few minutes later, my screen turned to black...and it's still black now. I forgot to mention the screen when it downloaded to upgrade, the screen was black too, but I didn't stop to RESTART EVERYDAY to make sure my PC is working.
NOW my screen is black. If I turn it on I get the grubs as below:
uburntu 10.4 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22 generic
uburntu 10.4 LTS, kernel 2.6.32.22 generic (recovery)
uburntu 10.4 LTS, Kernel 2.6.31-21 generic
uburntu 10.4 LTS, kernel 2.6.31-21 generic (recovery)
uburntu 10.4 LTS, kernel 2.6.31-20 generic
same repeat as above.....2.6.31-20 generic (recovery)
same.............................2.6.31-19 generic
same.............................2.6.31-19 generic (rec...)
same.............................2.6.31-18 gen.
same.............................2.6.31-18 gen..(rec)
same.............................2.6.31-17 gene.
same.............................2.6.31-17 gene.(rec.)
same.............................2.6.31-16 gene
same.............................2.6.31-16 gene (rec.)
Use the arrow (up) and (down) keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the select OS, 'e' to edit the command before booting, or 'c' for command-line.
If I don't choose any line above, then the line that is highlight is automatically the first line which is:
uburntu 10.4 LTS. kernel 2.6.32-22 generic
If I do nothing , once time (seconds) is past over, the following screen appears:
Boot from (hdO,5) ext3 a09111ce-7ba2-491c-9996-eba033470de3
Starting up ...
NOW IF I CHOOSE and pressing on "e" (editing) the line
uburntu 10.4 LTS, kernel2.6.32-22 generic
I GET THESE CODES
uuid a09111ce-7ba2-491c-9996-eba033470de3
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=uuid=a09111ce-7ba2-491c-->
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic
quiet
NOW IF I HIGHLIGHT AND PRESS (E) ON THE LINE
uuid a09111ce-7ba2-491c-9996-eba033470de3
I get the following message and codes:
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible completions of a device/filename. ESC at anytime to exit. ]
grub edit> uuid a09111ce-7ba2-491c-9996-eba033470de3
NOW IF I HIGHLIGHT THE SECOND LINE AND PRESS (E)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic..........491c-->
I get the following message and codes:
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible completions of a device/filename. ESC at anytime to exit. ]
<e-7ba2-491c-9996-eba033470de3 ro quiet splash
Now if I highlight the 3rd line and press on (e) that is:
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic
What i get?
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible completions of a device/filename. ESC at anytime to exit. ]
grub edit> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic
After all, I don't know what to do? My screen is still black even I boot one of these kernels or grubs above.
Does anyone can help me or give me any suggestion? I am appreciated. I have no knowledge in computer. I understand I will go around if you give me just a little detail. but better then nothing.
Thank you.
