My install was interrupted because of a power cut. I recovered from it, using the command

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now, I get a violet boot screen like normal, but the progress bar is shown as 4 dots, and Ubuntu is displayed in a simple font, reminiscent of the DOS era. What do I do to make it right? I have Nvidia drivers. Also, worth mentioning is that before showing the boot screen, I get a line of text saying:

............ unreliable temperature sensor.............

I use a Asus M3N78-EM, AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition, 4GB DDR2, Nvidia 9400GT 512 MB.

Thanks.

Install cryptsetup package (side effect of this action is logo normalization)

To recover from a broken install without loosing configuration, you can :

  1. boot on live usb
  2. make backup of broken system from live usb
  3. fresh re-install (with preserve /home option)
  4. restore any config files you need from backup made in step 2.
  5. reinstall packages

A clean install with power during the entire process will do the trick in the safest way.

Yes, that's the boot-screen.

Sidenote: No, I'm not gonna argue about the design...what you see is the right and perfect working boot screen.
