Ubunto 12.04 Cannot boot after Ubuntu Tweal cleaned "Uneeded Packages"

Asked by Nolan

Everything was fine until I used Ubuntu Tweaks Janitor to clean "Uneeded Packages" apparently it cleaned a needed package.
This has occured many times. I'm sure this the cause of the problem.

Please advise.

Ubuntu Tweak is a 3rd party package made by sone guys. Its not endorsed by Canonical and so the tool is unregulated. I suggest you contact the developers. There are plenty of cleanup applications in the official reposirories so why use something else.....

Is there a way to save my configuration or am going to have to reinstall?

I will reinstall. I was hoping to save my configuration. I guess that's not possible.

If you make backups you dont have this issue. a small USB harddrive is cheap and a great way to ensure data integrity........

After the installation there is no grub screen. The screen is blank
