Ubuntu boots to black screen after Update to Ubuntu 18

I have just tried to upgrade my Ubuntu to Ubuntu 18, and at one moment I had to choose if it should install new version of a certain file or keep the old one, and I selected to see the difference. After which, I didn´t know how to close the window and return to upgrade so I pressed Ctrl+X which terminated the process completely.



At first I could continue using Linux without any problems, but after I rebooted, it started making problems.

It shows a black screen where I can move with my mouse, but I can´t do anything else. So I looked up online what I can do about it, and after trying everything with Booting in recovery mode, I have decided to install a new version of Ubuntu, while keeping the old data on the drive. But it seems that was not the solution either.



Any ideas ?






boot 18.04

  • hey yes I have tried both nomedeset and nosplash, it show the linux logo as if it is booting up but then just a black screen. I have a NVIDA Geforce 940mx graphic card. I saw that the new instalation created a new partition from which I can boot up normally, but I want to save my data that is why I still try to find a solution for the question

Biblatex bibliography style without URLs when DOI exists (in Overleaf with Zotero bibliography)

Image
2 2 I have a Zotero bibliography in Overleaf. I use biblatex . usepackage[backend=biber,citestyle=authoryear]{biblatex} addbibresource{zoteroALH.bib} Bibliography entries look like: @book{de_saint-gervais_uniformization_2016, title = {Uniformization of {Riemann} {Surfaces}}, isbn = {978-3-03719-145-3}, url = {https://www.ems-ph.org/books/book.php?proj_nr=198&srch=series%7Chem}, urldate = {2019-02-03}, author = {de Saint-Gervais, Paul Henri}, year = {2016}, doi = {10.4171/145} } In the bibliography down the paper the reference shows like this: There is the DOI, great, but also the URL which is unnecessary when the DOI is there.

ComboBox Display Member on multiple fields

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

Image
2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
