Hello all!
I hope everyone is happy and healthy.
I had wanted to make my introduction other than begging for help but sadly, it looks that is how it's going to go...
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my wife's Dell Inspiron 6900
After installing and setting up my network information, it asks for her to choose a name and password and computer name, which we filled out of course.
After everything had finished and we were at the log in screen, the username and password didn't work, we tried several variations in spelling and and caps. I finally came to the forums and found out how to reset the password and one of the steps is to reboot.
Once we rebooted, our Dell Splash screen still came up (strangely I assumed it would be an Ubuntu screen) and after that screen it goes directly to a black screen with only a flashing cursor.
I've not been able to do anything at all, I've rebooted and held shift, attempting to restore but nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all in advanced.
John
