I did
sudo apt-get update
and installed updates on my 12.04 LTS. After which I installed remaining updates via the update manager UI.
I activated the Radeon 7*** series graphics driver [proprietary] using additional driver UI
Then clicked on get version 14.04 on the UI. It downloaded all the required packages in around an hour and then it was installing the packages.
I had to leave while it was continuing. Then when I came back my laptop was closed [lid] so it presumably went to sleep mode.
I have absolutely no idea what happened in between. But when I opened it again, I saw the desktop background with UBUNTU 14.04 shown as water mark on bottom left corner.
But nothing else was on the screen. I tried CTRL+ T but that was not coming. I tried CTRL+ ALT+ DEL. But it did not restart. So I forced power off and then restarted.
Now all I get is a sort of purple blank screen.
The grub is 3.2.0 67.
AMD A8 processor. I have a windows 7 versions installed along with Ubuntu.
Hopefully, the 14.04. 1 is installed but the desktop screen is somehow not appearing.
Please help. I am sort of a newbie [just know some basic stuff] in linux.
PS:
Now its logging and showing desktop. But its getting heated up and I am not able to access anything apart from the terminal. I guess my graphics proprietary drivers need to be installed. But I cant even access additional drivers UI. Please help.
