[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu on Aspire One D255

[Joshua O'Leary]

Check the disk for errors on next reboot:
touch /forcefsck

If the problem carries on check for errors in the logs in /var/log/fsck 
- hopefully there should be something providing an indication of what 
the problem is. From the sound of it, it seems you haven't even got past 
grub - try reinstalling grub:
sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
where X is your disk (you can find out more about disks by running fdisk 
-l) , and then
sudo update-grub.


Hope this helps somewhat
