I installed the Warsow pkg just to see what it was.

As I ran it, the resolution went funky and then the laptop froze. Had to hard reset it. Not it will not boot fully. The Ubuntu symbol comes up then it flashes the loading symbol a couple times then goes black. When the hard reset button is pressed the screen goes purple.

I tried recovery mode but startx brought my into another terminal.

I seem to be install heavy. I'd like to figure it out but if I can't fast I'm going to have to reinstall. I've got a paper due Friday, and I don't want to have to work off a live cd for long. Thanks.

in terminal mode you can

and when done

and see if you boot to Desktop

Tried that.

There was only one change-
When I hit the hard reset instead of turning purple it turned blue. A solid blue.
