My name is Adarsh Meher
I am using Zorin os 16 which is based on Ubuntu 20.4
I am a new Linux user.
I am using Lenovo G50-70
If you know what is the problem then please help me.
Instead of using the TTY prompt, can you try booting Zorin. When you see the grub menu, (You may need to tap tab or esc key starting at the motherboard splash screen) select Advanced options for Zorin
Open the Recovery Menu and arrow key down to enable networking
Once done, back out to the Recovery menu and arrow key down to Drop to Root Prompt
Hit enter
then run
sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop
The likeliest culprit is GDM3. But the above command should ensure that all the relevant packages are corrected.
When you enter that, you should see options for Booting from any kernels you have installed and below each kernel, an option for Recovery
Selecting the recovery will take you to the recovery menu.
This is not screen I see very often, so my memory of what it looks like may be hazy.
