So I have a dual boot of Ubuntu 20.04 with Windows 7. I wanted to expand my Ubuntu partition so freed some space from my E: drive in windows and moved it towards the Ubuntu so that using a live USB I could use GParted to extend it. But when I tried to open my Ubuntu before using a live usb to extend I get stuck 9on a black screen with the following message

/dev/sda5: clean, 103596/1978592 files, 7631618/7900672 blocks

I have tried using the suggested solutions like boot-repair, nomodset and also pressing cntrl + Alt + F2 or F3 in order to login into terminal but nothing works.

Can someone please provide me a solution to make it work please, I don't want to reinstall the entire Ubuntu, that will be my last option.

Resolved, faced same issue.

Before doing this, turn on your internet, reboot PC and it will connect your PC to internet (if previously connected) or find, how connect internet via command after step 1, given below.

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1: Enter your Username & Password
  2. Check gdm version: sudo service --status-all |grep gdm
  3. Install your gdm (in my case it was gdm3): sudo apt install gdm3

All done...
