Ubuntu fails to boot
-
06-07-2010 #2
Hi zoltar,
Welcome to the forums!
May I please know if this is a fresh install or have you been using it for quite a time?
In my little experience with ubuntu and linux distros in general, sudden power outages or accidental unpluging of wires doesn't affect my OS performance.
It does sometimes result in loss of unsaved data which I was working on when it happened.

Hello and Welcome!
Are you getting any activity at all when powering on?
Error message on screen? Does it pass POST? I assume you're using an internal HDD, as opposed to an external?Jay

it may be easier just to reinstall ubuntu unless you have a bunch of data you want to save but then all you should have to do is boot up the live cd and save your data that way.

Make sure to backup data using LiveCD first.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
