When ubuntu is started, the grub menu pops up. When I select "Ubuntu", a black screen showing "/dev/sda2: Recovering journal" and "/dev/sda2: clean .../... files, .../... blocks", afterwards the ubuntu logo pops up along with the white dots beneath. From than on, nothing happens, it is stuck.

What I tried/figured out (besides googling alot): So within the grub menu I selected the recovery mode and tested some things.

E.g. I ran "fcsk": This showed up and then the laptop was stuck (pressing enter did not help), also note the first line, that "/etc/default/rcS" was not found: fcsk

When I enter into the root console, after some time this shows up: failed boot for /boot/efi

Here is the output of blkid and content of /etc/fstab: fstab and blkid

What I also tried was running "dpkg". This this showed up and it was stuck as well: dpkg

I have no idea what to try or find out anymore sadly. Any help would be appreciated!

You may have a problem with an older computer, with an older GPU. Try this...

  • boot to recovery mode
  • choose root access

type:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /        # to remount the disk r/w

sudo pico /etc/gdm3/custom.conf   # edit this file

change:

#WaylandEnable=false

to:

WaylandEnable=false

Then reboot.

Update #1:

  • boot to recovery mode
  • choose root access

type:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /        # to remount the disk r/w

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.BCK # backup the file first

sudo pico /etc/fstab              # edit the file

change:

UUID=2AF3-34F1 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1

to:

UUID=2AF3-34F1 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1

reboot the computer
