Haven't touched this laptop in a while, so when I did, I updated it (from 16.something) to the most recent LTS (18.04) from the GUI prompt.
It is a dual-booting Windows 10/Ubuntu system.
I now have the purple background 5 dots ubuntu 'boot screen' for like 2 seconds, then it goes into a command line mode and get stuck at /dev/nvme0n1p7: clean, 291381/1324512 files, 3883511/5297920 blocks after selecting Ubuntu in GRUB.
I saw some other users fix by purging nvidia drivers, which my system does not have (no nvidia GPU, tried it anyway, just listed 0 installed, 0 removed etc.)
Also tried the nomodeset
update, which also did not work, I just get stuck in Grub after pressing ctrl-X
with the text all gone.
Saw some others suggest sudo apt update, to which I got these:
Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/InRelease Could not resolve 'au.archive.ubuntu.com' and similar 5 other lines, with the last one being cannot resolve 'dl.google.com'.
Thinking it might my internet not connecting, I tried ifconfig wlan 0
, to which I get device not found
.
Does anyone know what I can do to get back into my system?
