gksudo gnome-terminal

you cna now run:

find this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quite splash"

and make it read:

Press CTRL+X
Press Y

Then run:

update-grub

Then reboot using:

Should be ok.

Hi :)

Are you able to use a usb mouse or soemthing until you can get this working? My machine has 2 mice which both work at the same time.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Can you help with this problem?
