This is strange. I installed Xen and tried to install win2012 in a VM, it crashed, I rebooted to see if this would help and now no desktop. The machine boots from the hard drive and I get the grub menu amd have tried the various options but I get dumped to a root prompt and it prompts for the root password. How do I recover the desktop? I can see all my desktop files and such. How do I start the KDE environment?
Maybe this is the problem. When I look in fdisk -l I see
/dev/sda1 Linux
/dev/sda2 * HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 W95 extd
/dev/sda4 Linu/swap
/dev/sda5 Linux/swap
/dev/sda6 Linux
/dev/sda7 Linux
I believe my home drive is sda7 and the boot slice which I see bin on is what boots and I see
Linux-31n4:~#
how do I recover?
