My LG gram 15 laptop runs Ubuntu 16.04. When I was running both Makefile and gradle simultaneously, it was getting slower and slower, and finally it froze, so, I rebooted my laptop. Then it started to print only:

/dev/sda2: clean, ***/*** files, ***/*** blocks

Where the *** are large numbers.

CLI mode works well, but I couldn't start the Ubuntu in GUI mode (lightdm, GNOME...)

I searched for a solution. I read almost every relevant answer about this problem, but none of them worked. I tried to reinstall the Nvidia driver, but my computer doesn't have an Nvidia graphics card.

Results of df -h --exclude=tmpfs --exclude=squashfs : 

Filesystem | size | Used | Avail | Use% | Mounted on  
udev |0 | 12G | 0% | /dev
/dev/sda2 | 468G | 173G | 272G | 39% | /
/dev/sda1 | 511M | 6.1M | 505M | 2% | /boot/efi

I typed grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log suggestion on recovery mode.

$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) /dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied

After I typed Xorg -configure

stratx makes below error:

MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list

ip_local_port_range: prefer different parity for start/end values.

Something spring to my mind is that, I forced power off my laptop while It was connected to external monitor via HDMI cable.

This message is normal. This message tells you that there are no errors in your disk.

I think your display drivers are corrupt. Also if your hardware is not Nvidia, why would you want to install Nvidia drivers?

You need to remove them and install the required drivers.

You need to edit your grub and boot without the display drivers by adding "nomodeset" and then fix your driver situation.

This has nothing to do with GDM. GDM is just a display manager. Try following the steps here.

  • Thank you for answer.

    I realized that I don't have Nvidia graphic card in my laptop.

    I was doing everything what I could do.

    Because I was so desperate. My laptop only have integrated graphic card.

    I edited grub to "quiet splash nomodeset", But It still hangs on

    "/dev/sda2 clean, */files, /* blocks"

    Something changed is the message starts to blink.

    And appended a line which says "/dev/sd2 recovering journal" – hyounjun kim Dec 25 '19 at 14:19

From the errors in your Xorg.0.log, I see that it fails to load modules. Hopefully, the solution must be to (re)install the modules and configure X to use them. This may do it (I'll delete it if it doesn't help).

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-vesa
Xorg -configure
startx

Hopefully, your GUI will be up and running.

    installation was successful. But rest of commands made error and warning. I appended the messages at the end of my question! Thanks a lot. – hyounjun kim Dec 25 '19 at 15:07
