Yesterday I tried to download some packages at my workplace, through their proxy server. The download failed and I received a 'proxyaddress' error.
Tried a few things to get past this error but nothing worked.
I rebooted Ubuntu which took me to the login prompt as usual. When I entered my password the monitor went black and then I was presented with the login screen again.
I was able to login using a ctrl_alt_f3 login.
I then tried doing dpkg, but I guess an Internet connection is required for fixing broken packages. Which brought me back to my original proxy issue.
I would like to reinstall/repair Ubuntu. Repair is preferred so I can keep my data. This is a dual boot environment with windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 16.04.
Grub seems to work just fine but the recovery option under grub does not seem to work.
Any ideas on how I can repair my installation?
