Pressing ALT CTRL F1 doesn't open the terminal when I'm trying to boot from my hard drive. There's just this black screen. When I do it from a LIVEUSB the terminal opens but executing the commands show am error of can't locate package. Please help.

  • Actually I was tackling the problem of Ubuntu running in Low Graphics mode. As per the answer given: askubuntu.com/questions/141606/…... It is necessary to boot in FAILSAFE mode.

  • If low graphics mode is due to install of graphic drivers then go to recovery mode and select root then uninstall the drivers you can see your ubuntu gui again

    It says 'It cannot be downloaded'. I have a Wifi connection. How do I connect to download the package when I'm shut out of Ubuntu?
