I have been trying to solve this problem on my Ubuntu 18.04 for the past two days.  I boot up my system, and it acts like the server edition of Ubuntu. It launches a full screen command line and that's it.   So far, I have tried reinstalling gdm3 and lightdm. That did not work. I set my privileges on the .Xauthority file to my username, that did not work. I also reinstalled gnome-panel as some people said and that did  not work. Finally, I installed lubuntu-desktop, and set LXDM as my default desktop environment. It's still only loading the command line!   What else can I try?
I am trying to boot Ubuntu on my computer.  When I boot Ubuntu, it boots to a black screen.  How can I fix this? Table of Contents:
How do I pre-install Ubuntu for someone (OEM install)? I would like to pre-install Ubuntu on a computer for someone. I may want to customize it for them, but in the end they need to be able to choose a username, password, etc. when they first boot it up. (Also called an OEM install).  How do I do this? error: no such partition. Grub rescue Is there any way to recover deleted files which may have since been overwritten? I deleted lots of files &amp; folders on my laptop and then I put a new files in the same folders. I need to recover the deleted files. I tried a lot of recovery software and I couldn't recover my old files.   I read that if you refill the folders with new files after deleting old ones then I can't recover them again. Is that true?

UK visa refusal For PLAB 2 I had applied for a visit visa (business) to appear for my PLAB 2 exam on 21 June 2019. I had to attend practice classes from an academy in Manchester for which I had attached the invitation letter; my duration was 15 days to prepare my exam in a better way. I had mentioned the cost of my trip to be £1500 and my brother sponsoring me for £3000 (my entire trip).   My rejection letter stated that I was going with my mother, when I had nowhere in my form or cover letter mentioned that I am going with my mother, because I was going alone. I had shown that my brother is my financial sponsor as I didnt have enough funds in my account. I had attested all the documents of my brother but somewhere in my form I made a mistake where I wrote the total money I have is £3000, but I had only £1200 in my account. I thought we had to write the total amount, so I put my brother's sponsor money, which was supposed to be £3000; he hadn't transferred it into my account, it was in his account only.  I made one more mistake in the form where they asked how much is the cost of travel to you personally. I wrote £1500 but I think I had to write nil there.   I don't know how to proceed now. Should I transfer £3000 into my account from my brother's account and get a bank statement proving the source of income? I don't have enough money in my account despite bring employed since Nov 2018 with a salary of £700 per month, as I had to make some big transactions such as booking my PLAB 2 exam (£830£), etc.  I have already booked the exam for £830 and I don't have much time left. "Whom" or "who" where the referent is both subject and object? I understand there has been so much on this topic but I am still confused. I get that if the person is the subject it is who and anything else is whom. However, I'm really struggling to work out this rule for the following sentence:     The scope of which his account of morality applies to is therefore restricted to those whom/who the ‘notion of justification to a being of that kind makes sense.’   Should it be who or whom? I can't work out the subject and object. find the minimum value given constraints Can Ubuntu 32-bit access 8GB RAM? I need to use a large software package (Xojo) that requires the 32-bit architecture to run. Try as I might, I can't seem to install the 32-bit libraries on my 64-bit installation of 15.04.  I don't have a problem running a 32-bit version of Ubuntu (I'm only using this computer for Xojo) but the computer has 8GB of RAM and I'd like to be able to use it all. Is there a way to utilise all 8GB of RAM with a 32-bit Ubuntu install? Does Ubuntu do this out of the box? How do I install Ubuntu Server (step-by-step)? Apply display settings to all user accounts?

Since the network manager is troubling me so much I want to replace it (possibly wicd orNM from ppa:volanin).

I have a Git repo that I have deleted four files from using rm (not git rm), and my Git status looks like this:  #    deleted:    file1.txt #    deleted:    file2.txt #    deleted:    file3.txt #    deleted:    file4.txt   How do I remove these files from Git without having to manually go through and add each file like this:  git rm file1 file2 file3 file4   Ideally, I'm looking for something that works in the same way that git add . does, if that's possible. chkrootkit shows "tcpd" as INFECTED.
