My Xubuntu 14.04 installation stopped booting all of a sudden: after rebooting I just see a flashing _
in the top left corner of the screen. Holding Left-Shift
during boot won't open any menu, Ctrl+Alt+F*
will not open a terminal I can type in.
I've reset BIOS settings, which did not help, then made a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu. I can now boot and I see that the data on the disk with OS is intact, I've checked the disk with badblocks
and it found no errors.
Is there any way I can locate any details as to why the system does not boot?
