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 ?

  • 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

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx
