I've currently encountered some issues with ubuntu causing me to be stuck in tty mode.
I already tried fixing the issue but since I'm not sure of what really happened for this issue to occur I now just want to reinstall ubuntu.
I was wondering if there is a way to reinstall ubuntu via terminal?
I'm currently running 12.04.4 lts and I already tried the command line:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
But that didn't do anything (after ~10 min of nothing happening a new command line appeard, I tried to restart but nothing changed)
Any help is highly appreciated
Thanks
