    Re: Computer suddenly won't boot to desktop

    I ran the command

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove nvidia-*
    earlier. Would that be why those commands are not working?

    What exactly should I do? I'm still new to handling problems like this in Ubuntu--I need to know what commands I need to run. Thanks!

    ok i got this from somewhere......
    Boot to live mode from the cd.
    There open gparted and see if u find anything unusual with your partition stuff....
    then,open terminal and try the following:
    Code:
    sudo add apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
    add the repo...and then install boot repair with following
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
    it will scan your system. Try the recommended repair and see if it works.


    Goodluck
    Regards,WinuxUser

    O
    I don't have a live CD, and the live USB drive that I used to install isn't being recognized by my computer for some reason. It's a brand new device. Maybe you could help me get that mounted?

    Sorry mate, I haven't tried out linux from pendrives till now so i have no idea what is needed to be done.
    Still, have u changed ur BIOS settings to boot from your pendrive and restarted your machine?? Looks funny to ask but still....

    No, that didn't seem to make sense because it doesn't seem to be recognizing it at all, but I will try that now anyway.

    That didn't work. It's not showing as a boot option in the BIOS screen.
