Restore Mode?

Asked by Switching Maybe

I've haven't done anything different. I restarted my computer to test something out and then ubuntu brought me to some "System Restore" page. It won't fix the issue and won't allow me to log in. I logged in with safemode and tried to fix the error, but after removing the last thing I've downloaded, nothing happened...

Help please!

When I enter the safe-mode and restart my computer it brings me back to my ubuntu when it's not broekn but my login screen is different, and everytime I restart my computer again it brings me back to the restore screen. What's the issue!

I suggest you power off and press CTRL and ALT and SHIFT a few times. There may be a key stuck down which may cause this. I've never heard of a restore page, theres Gnome safe mode though..

system restore is a windoze feature. it lets you rollback changes you made to the system to a prior state if something goes wrong or if virii attacked the system.

sadly, there's no such feature in ubuntu. but there is in fedora.

Here's a picture of the page I'm getting. http://s423.photobucket.com/albums/pp316/brandonchambers1/?action=view&current=1124100757-00.jpg

Please help, this is really annoying.

Yes, scroll down past netroot and you will get root, you can then diagnose the system there by reading logs and such. A good quick first step would be:

su foo; startx

change foo to your username, see if you get a desktop

When I read the logs how do I know what caused the error?

OK, so it did bring me to my desktop, but everytime I restart my computer it brings me back to that screen...

How can I fix everything?

I want to remove the screen (picture I showed you) I need everything to be back to normal...

I also get the recovery menu...

How can I just make my system boot back to normal, the way it used to?

Could you reinstall Grub ? Perhaps it will fix issue:
