Yesterday I was watching a video on youtube and suddenly my laptop got frozen.
I wasn't able to even move my cursor, so I gave it 10 min and after no response, I pressed the shutdown button for 5 seconds and rebooted my machine.
When it rebooted, it presented me the following screen:
Since than I've been searching the internet for any way to get pass this with absolute no luck.
Bellow I'll leave all the steps I've tried so far:
[First I was having problems enabling networking so these were the steps that helped me:]
- selecting the option
Advanced options for Ubuntu
- choosing the option
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.4.0-66-generic (recover mode)
- selecting the option
Enable networking
from the Recovery Menu
when it finishes and returns to the Recovery Menu, I select the option
Drop to root shell prompt
and then running the following commands with my Ethernet cable plugged in did the trick:
Commands:
/etc/init.d/networking start
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
Then I followed this answer referring to this link and repeated the commands for about 10 times each in random order as described in the post:
apt-get update
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
And I also tried this: answer
cd /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d
sudo rm debug
sudo ln -s ../debug.dbkg-new debug
cd /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d
sudo rm debug
sudo ln -s ../debug.dbkg-new debug
After all of that, my machine is still showing the screen in the first image. At this point I don't know what more can I try so I really need some light on this.
Don't know if this is relevant but this is my uname -a
:
Linux rm-pc 4.4.0-66-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 3 15:29:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Also when I executed journalctl -xb
and this are all the red lines in the code:
secure boot
in your BIOS. You've got a problem in your /etc/fstab file. Paste a copy into your question and we can take a look. And DON'T manually edit /etc/resolv.conf (it says that right in the file!).
