Help please. I made a major boo boo. As per the web site "How-to Geek" I typed onto my command line as root "apt-get install lamp-server^" . The install didn't complete So I decided it would be a good idea to remove it. I typed "apt-get remove lamp-server^" . When I rebooted no video would come up. I tried re-installing and repairing the distribution. I have been running ubuntu 12.04 from your magazine for about two weeks and was switching to Linux. I also tried several other distributions with the same results. I was able at one point to get into a root terminal but it wouldn't let me on-line (I was root) and when I tried to cat or vi to look at config files the system wouldn't let me. I can look at log files. I am using a dual boot Acer laptop model aspire 5736z-4460. I was able to load the ubuntu 12.04 on a Windows 7 VirtualBox. It runs fine.
Thank you for your help.
