(Disclaimer: Newbie to Linux and Ubuntu)

  • Installed Update via Ubuntu Updater
  • Also changed the ubuntu.css file to change the login background
  • Restarted the system

Now it boots up shows the fsck "clean.... " message (as usual) -> shows cursor on blank screen and goes back to the fsck message -> i can't even change to terminal via CTRL+F2,F3,.... it just goes back to this message (it shows the login for 5 ms then goes back)

I don't think the change to the ubuntu.css file created this problem but I'm not sure.

    Best way to see if it's the .css file is to undo what you did. When the machine starts to boot hit the esc button or the hold down the shift key to reveal the grub boot menu, then select recovery It will take you to a screen where you can select root terminal. from there you can open the .css file and revert your changes you'll have to use nano text editor or something similar.
