Ubuntu 19.10 boot frozen on "/dev/sda2: clean, x/x files, x/x blocks"
On boot my laptop freezes at the message in the title (with x as some number). I can access the command line with Ctrl+Alt+F1...F6
Prior to this, I had uninstalled python with:
sudo apt remove python python3 python 3.8
I reinstalled all those packages with:
sudo apt install python python3 python3.8
once this error occurred, but it still persisted.
With Ctrl+Alt+F1, I can login to a screen with this message:
debugfs: File 'Codec' in directory 'System PCM' already present!
Would really appreciate help with this!
