I did something really stupid yesterday...

I accidentally did some weird command with mv and made it so the Linux filesystem could not find anything.

Anyhow, I reinstalled Ubuntu 11.10 from the same disk I did the first time, and then upgraded to 12.04 just like last time and it hasn't been the same.

  • Now I have to boot into recovery mode or else I get stuck on the splash screen.
  • After I log in I often have strange problems with the mouse and GUI.
  • The other thing is I'm still left with pieces of the old filesystem on the last Ubuntu partition. I think that might be interfering with the current one. How do I delete it?

Also, could there be other causes? Thanks.

  • Could you clarify what you mean by "strange problems with the mouse and GUI"? – papukaija Aug 06 '13 at 14:57

    Also, what do you mean by "I'm still left with pieces from the old filesystem"? How do you know that? Also, why did you install 11.10 then upgrade to 12.04? Reinstalling 12.04 from scratch would be a better option. – Alaa Ali Aug 06 '13 at 14:59

    You have an unstable system, and any of our posible solutions wouldn't work. Please, reinstall 12.04 LTS from scratch since it's the latest stable Long Term Support version. – Braiam Aug 06 '13 at 15:08
