My install was interrupted because of a power cut. I recovered from it, using the command

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now, I get a violet boot screen like normal, but the progress bar is shown as 4 dots, and Ubuntu is displayed in a simple font, reminiscent of the DOS era. What do I do to make it right? I have Nvidia drivers. Also, worth mentioning is that before showing the boot screen, I get a line of text saying:

............ unreliable temperature sensor.............

I use a Asus M3N78-EM, AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition, 4GB DDR2, Nvidia 9400GT 512 MB.

Thanks.

Install cryptsetup package (side effect of this action is logo normalization)

To recover from a broken install without loosing configuration, you can :

  1. boot on live usb
  2. make backup of broken system from live usb
  3. fresh re-install (with preserve /home option)
  4. restore any config files you need from backup made in step 2.
  5. reinstall packages

A clean install with power during the entire process will do the trick in the safest way.

    I cant do that, because I have lots of packages and settings installed. But Open Help's answer did the trick. – theTuxRacer Oct 23 '10 at 09:19
  • Sure, Open Help's answer is very usefull I said this because "an inrerupted installation process" always scares me. I don't have deep technical knowledge on the subject, its just a feeling. I hope there aren't more broken things. – marenostrum Oct 23 '10 at 12:32

Yes, that's the boot-screen.

Sidenote: No, I'm not gonna argue about the design...what you see is the right and perfect working boot screen.

  • Umm no, thats not the perfect bootscreen, because its not like the one that was in 10.4. If you say that this ( http://ubuntica.com/wp-content/images/2010/03/ubuntu-lucid-boot-screen.png) is the correct boot screen, then its not what I see. – theTuxRacer Oct 22 '10 at 01:46
  • What I see is this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JBHfzEovWs8/S6bkMaV4EaI/AAAAAAAAALM/ea_Od2957t0/s1600-h/lubuntu+boot.png – theTuxRacer Oct 22 '10 at 01:54
  • @theTuxRacer: Yes, that's the boot screen I also have. – Bobby Oct 22 '10 at 16:36
