I installed GIMP editor and then rebooted the laptop. After it, I was unable to login and got stuck on the login screen itself. I have tried various commands in the full screen terminal but nothing helped. Now, after various efforts I even the login screen has also gone. The only thing I see whenever I switch on the system is the ubuntu logo alongwith the orange dots. That's it. No progress after it whatsoever. Please help.

    It looks like your computer detects your monitor as secondary. Have you worked recently on double screen?

  • No, I haven't done anything like that. I have searched various commands regarding lightdm and gdm but that too didn't help me. :(

Your laptop detects your monitor as secondary. Open ~/.config/monitors.xml in your favourite text editor (for example nano), search for your laptop monitor and replace no with yes in line:

<primary>no</primary>

Tell me if it works.
