After 7 updates to Ubuntu 12.04 on my pc this evening, re-start produced a black screen with grub> and a flashing cursor. How do I get the normal desktop back?

  • can give a bit more specific info? what did you update? and what is your video card? add the output of lspci | grep VGA to your question. – JoKeR Feb 20 '14 at 00:02

Your grub is dead. Dunno why but it is.

You can reinstall grub with a live-session (usb or dvd) and follow the directives given here.

This will guide you through the installation of boot-repair under a live-session. With that application, you'll be able to fix your grub.
