I'm asking this because initially, my problem was this (power failure during installation,
so I typed the following instructions in the maintenance shell:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo dpkg --configure a
sudo mount -o remount,ro /
sudo sync
sudo reboot
The first three lines worked, afterwards, my computer (a Dell Inspiron 530) got stalled for several hours, so I unplugged it. When I turned it on, the log in screen appeared, and after I try to write my password, it leads me back to the log screen. I must note that when I typed the first three lines during the maintenance shell mode, it said that the errors which were encountered during processing were:
initscripts
bluez
gnome-bluetooth
So, what do I have to do in order to get back to the maintenance shell so I can type code again?
And, what code do I have to write in order to restore my computer?
Thank you for your attention.
