Did you try keying in Ctrl-Alt-F2 after seeing nothing more? > I tried to record the script that show before this screen and it looks like > there is a lot loading, but I saw one place in the script that had a red > FAILED and it looks like it says #failed to start load kernel modules > It would probably be easier to reinstall, but I'm trying to learn linux. > Any more suggestions? What did you mean when you wrote "recover mode"? Was that a Grub menu choice? Were there any other menu choices available, such as prior kernel? You could try appending to the main grub selection "plymouth.enable=0', and/or removing any cmdline options mentioning modeset, quiet, splash, gfxmode, vga and/or video. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
