Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am rather new to the Ubuntu OS.
Everything was running smoothly for a few days, then this menu
came up. I don't remember exactly, but it won't let me enter the
OS. I've never been that big on programming and computers and
other stuff, so I don't know how to get past this. It says
"grub>" and I've tried entering my Ubuntu username and Password,
but I still can't get past the screen. Help me please?
