Hello,
I was going through my system (though I dont know Ubuntu very well) and deleted the daemon file, thinking I would be able to reinstall it. Now, my screen goes into a Dos Mode look alike, essentially the BSOD and I can't get it to load the normal window. Can anyone PLEASE assist me? THank you all so much.

I deleted your other post. Please do not post the same question more than once. Thank you.

Hold down the Shift key as the computer is starting. This will bring up the Grub boot menu. At that menu select Recovery Mode. In Recovery Mode choose Repair Broken Packages.

Thank you so much for the advice. However, it did not solve the problem. I am concerned that I won't be able to reinstall any of what I deleted. Basically what happened was, the computer's sound suddenly didn't work. Not on loading, no music, nothing. I went through the system uninstalling certain sound packages hoping it might help and then reinstall them. In the process I accidentally uninstalled the graphics card (I think) and now it's only in the dos mode-type screen and won't go to anything else.

What happens when you type

startx

at the dos mode-type screen?
