Instead of the purple GRUB screen, everything I see when I try to boot is this. How to fix this?

Edit: Yes, I have multiple partitions. I recently tried to expand the size of the partition in which Ubuntu is installed (using GParted), but I cancelled the operation in the middle of the process because it was taking too long. When I tried to log in again, a message of error appeared. I then searched the web for a solution and I found a couple of terminal commands to reinstall GRUB. The result was this same screen below.

  • Did you recently install an OS? Do you have multiple hard drives in the computer where you might have Ubuntu installed on another drive? Please edit your question and give us some more information about your computer. If it doesn't say grub rescue that usually means that it is not seeing an installation of Ubuntu or a Linux on the system. – Terrance Apr 12 '18 at 22:43
  • Sounds like your Ubuntu partition is messed up. That can happen from cancelling or stopping a resize in the middle of it. You can try booting from a LiveCD and then using TestDisk to get your partition back. See: https://askubuntu.com/a/690414/231142 – Terrance Apr 13 '18 at 02:44
  • Does this answer your question? Unable to boot Ubuntu after trying to mount partition in windows with ext2fat – karel Nov 25 '21 at 06:37
  • "I recently tried to expand the size of the partition in which Ubuntu is installed (using GParted), but I cancelled the operation in the middle of the process because it was taking too long." this almost certainly wrecked your system - the process copies and moves information located on the partition you are modifying – Organic Marble Nov 25 '21 at 13:41

Try entering insmod normal and then type normal to see if the system can boot normally from here.
