Ubuntu12.04 crashed while trying to install Ubuntu14.04, no longer have access
- by FACE
Posting from my laptop, as my Compaq desktop crashed. Not very computer saavy, and not sure what info I should provide...but here's a start:
9 year old desktop Compaq SR 1650NX, AMD Athlon 3500+ probably 1 gB ram (duh....)
Was running 12.04....was attempting to upgrade to 14.04, not sure if I interrupted it.
Pretty much stuck on (constantly redirected to) a page which says "GNU Grub version 1.99-2"; it offers several choices (as written):
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-67-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-67-generic (recovery mode)
Previous Linux versions
Memory Test (memtest86+)
Memory Test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
But none of the selections seem to be able to get me anywhere (i.e., I click yes, but can't seem to run any commands - not that I know anything useful); I escape from those pages by repeatedly hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL
Any help would be appreciated; will provide additional info when requested.
Thanx (hopefully), in advance. (If I don't respond immediately, it just means I had to attend to other concerns...will leave page open and check back in as often as possible).
