after installing Elementary OS , reboot my laptop ( To start running the operating system supposedly) and I get a black screen with this message:


[ Minimal BASH -like line editing is supported. for the first word , TAB lists possible command completions . Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device / filename . ]


Actually I am a rookie , but I'm sure I did everything right . In fact , I could successfully install and run Ubuntu .

I really hope your help, Thank you

  • Ubuntu ? Is it dual boot ? What are the OS in your system?

To solve this problem use this thread,

  1. Boot from live USB

  2. Identify the partition of elementary OS

  3. Open terminal and run the commands:

    (Replace sda2 with your partition )

    sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
    for i in /sys /proc /run /dev; do sudo mount --bind "$i" "/mnt$i"; done
    sudo chroot /mnt
    update-grub
    

    If you got errors then (this is optional):

    grub-install /dev/sda
    update-grub
    

    Finally ;

    exit
    sudo reboot  
    

Alternatively:

  • Either from an Ubuntu live-session or from your installed Ubuntu session (if you can access it)

Open terminal and run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
