i installed newest ubuntu 14.10 unicorn on my brand new ssd pc , but think i made an mistake. When files had finished installing the boot media - a dvd i burned - where pushed out.. i removed the cd.. and my pc just hang there not booting properly up.. guess i should have let it stay in the dvd and finished the installation before removing it. I have access to recovery-mode 3.16.0-24-generic.. but the option it gives me haven’t been able to solve the boot problem up till now. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.. im a linux noob so please be gentle ;-)

The easiest way would be to just install again. If you see a reason not to do so, state it.

  • im aware of that.. but i only get 3 option in the recovery menu, namely 1. Start Ubuntu as normal. (Just hangs there in the booting process ) 2. Enter Advanced Settings. Now allows me to Enter normal boot procedure, which works, but is a temporary solution. 3. Enter System Settings ( which bring me to MSI bios with its options for letting me manipulate system coolers etc )... How do I force the pc to start up all from the beginning and re-install anew ?

  • Put installation medium in, reboot, hold F8 while rebooting, choose that medium from the list. Prefer UEFI version if present.

  • i did as suggested - except on my pc is it the "DEL"-key.. and indeed entered re-install.. chose UEFI.. left the medium in the dvd player after inital setup of ubuntu, and rebooted with ubuntu cd still in.. unfortunately with the same hang-up problem as before.. Still open for suggestions, but call it a day for now.. sleep awaits before work calls in the morning .. will be back later after work.

  • New day, new attempt: Installed Ubuntu 14.10 without encrypting home directory.. this funny enough made my system being able to boot to a full desktop.. no UEFI as recommended though as system says "booting in insecure mode". Would like UEFI to work but a quick glance around this sites show people with MSi motherboards having trouble booting at all if UEFI is forced..
