Debian stretch not completing the booting process
by Rnanda from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QGQG)
Hello,
I have been using debian stretch for a couple year now and never experienced a booting issue. Yesterday the computer froze when I was listening to music and I just unplugged it and when to bed. In the morning I started it, the booting ran up to the point where it usually launch the graphical desktop but just hanged. I tried rebooting in recovery mode, it ran and at some point requested the root password. I input it and it hanged.
I forced rebooting again but noticed that the recovery mode had disappeared, now I can just start it in normal mode, it runs up to the point when it usually launches the graphic mode and just hangs there.
I am not sure how to fix this, I did a network installation so I do not have any installation disk to try and fix it, I do not want to lose my data so I hope I can find a way to fix the booting without erasing the data.
Could you please help me.
Thank you.
