Try to fix your kubuntu box with kernel recovery


when you have some problem with your linux box with kubuntu distro you can try fix it with these steps:

    • 1  reboot your pc
    • 2 press SHIFT AT THE BOOT TIME several times just to get the grub menu
    • 2B if you are not able to get the grub’s menu you should edit your grub.cfg like you can see here
    • 3 one you get this screen

 

    • 4 select the first kernel where you can see RECOVERY MODE
    • 5 so wait until you get this


So now if you have a ethernet lan card you should choose netroot
now you have :
a root shell where you can do

sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get -f install
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
sudo adduser MYUSERNAME 
sudo adduser MYUSERNAME admin

or in a line

 sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ; sudo adduser MYUSERNAME ; sudo adduser MYUSERNAME admin 

** note sudo is not needed but… xD i use often sudo so.. xD i like to write sudo lol
these commands should help to fix some normal problems you could have in your linux box, the easier problems at least…

you can do them all or one by one the last 2 create a user and then add that user to admin groups so you will able to use sudo again with the new user…

what if i need to fix a kde problem ? i would try to reinstall kde… but kubuntu-destkop packages doesn’t install every packages 😦

You could try to fix kde reinstalling it , every packages, with https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/reinstall-kde/
