I have Ubuntu 12.04 lts and I want was opening my pc and after the grub menu, the screen went purple. Ubuntu didn't load after that and the hard drive activity stopped. So I restarted the pc inti recovery with Linux and ran dpkj and fsck to check file system. It doesn't help, so I clicked on recovery ( the last option on the grub menu). It replied:
Error: file not found
Error: file not found
Error: load kernel first
I don't have windows or any other OS. So in recovery mode I enabled networking and when it finished, it directed me to tty1 so I pressed ctrl+alt+F7 and F8 but nothing happened. Now it always directs me to the tty1 and I cannot access the GUI or X mode.
Please help. I am really in trouble with this.
