Does your keyboard work?
After reboot try:
- Go to tty1:
shift+alt+F1
and log in.
- Run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
( a little overdone but just to be sure )
- After everything is completed just reboot your system
sudo reboot now
It may be that some software needed was not installed and this may correct that. If this doesn't solve the problem go to tty1 again, log in, and type sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
-> again, some dependencies might not be resolved.
Note 1.
Only after I wrote this I thought that you may not have an internet connection since you've never log in and connect to a network.
In order for this to work you will need to connect to a network with internet access. So I'll try to describe to you how to connect to an WiFi network but you can check it here for more info about both WEP and WPA/WPA2. I won't copy and past it here but I'll add a few notes with some output. I've done some research and I couldn't find a way to connect to a WPA/WPA2 network without installing wpa_supplicant
so I can't really help with that. ( if someone knows how to fill free to edit this )
Connecting to a WEP Network
First of all, you will need to check the name of your wireless card using iwconfig
. This will give an output similar to this:
$ iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
lo no wireless extensions.
In this case, the card name is wlan0 but it can be different in your case so check your output for the one that don't say: no wireless extensions
. Also remember that, although not explicit in the link I shared, you will need to run almost all commands with root-level permission so don't forget to append sudo
to the beginning of every command ( or just log in to root using sudo -i
).
Hope it helps somehow.
