I've recently installed Linux Lite on an HP Pavilion PC as a dual boot alongside Windows XP. I'm not techy, but I've managed to sort out most of the initial issues. Yesterday I'd been trying to install SyncDrive when LL started to open multiple copies of the package installer, without concious instruction from me, then froze. I eventually switched it off using the physical switch on the PC.
Now the system won't boot normally. I've tried various options in the recovery mode boot, but they all end up at the command line and I don't have the expertise to try to repair it from there. The dpkg (repair broken packages) option reported and attempted to fix various problems, and was still reporting problems when I ran it again. The "sudo shutdown" command eventually stops at "checking battery state [OK]" - I don't know whether this is normal.
Incidentally, Windows still boots normally.
Can anybody help, please?
Bob
