I have Ubuntu installed on a Gateway NV53A laptop with Windows 7 removed, and recently when I've tried to start the computer, it gets stuck at the logo screen that says "Ubuntu" with the progress bar lights.

I recently upgraded to 13.04.

I'm able to start by going to advanced options in the GRUB menu and then selecting recovery mode and then hitting F, but I have to do this each time I start. It also seems like it doesn't work as well this way.

  • Thanks. I'm having other problems though like Google Chrome and Firefox don't open when I'm able to start it up. Is there a way to repair broken files or features? It seems like something went wrong when I upgraded. Jun 18, 2013 at 14:22

Boot in recovery mode. Type sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm in the terminal and choose the lightdm. Reboot your system in the normal way.

  • Type sudo dpkg --configure -a or sudo apt install -f to repair broken packages.
