I guess I assumed you ran the grub commands and booted to Ubuntu.

If system is automatically booting to the command line i.e no grub prompt and not the desktop then that is a new problem.

I just ran sudo alone and got back a set of commands just like in GRUB, I have a whole set of options for $ sudo -h, it goes all the way V for Version and also Validate as the last on the list just for $ sudo -h

What you are seeing is just the command line, tty1 is a virtual terminal.

Ubuntu is running but the desktop is not. You can try running the following command to see if it starts.

startx

That just came back as coand not found

Try the command:

/usr/bin/startx

It says command not found and I ran it twice, once with SUDO in front and 2nd without SUDO??

When I hit TAB it asked if I wanted it to show all 825 possibilities and I hit Y and OMG! Mike it would take me months to sort through all those! ?? What to do now, geez

Tab completion is just way to automatically fill in the rest of the command or suggest options. Not going to be useful.

Since you never confirmed what iso I can only guess that either you installed the server version or something went wrong with the installation and a desktop was never installed.

You should be able to install a desktop from the USB drive I believe if you can mount it.

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdb /mnt

Cool, and to be totally honest, I am certainly not sure which one I installed, I am/was a noobie but Im for damn sure getting the crash course now, like I said I'm usually great when it come to this kind of work, all in all from the help from you to the troubleshooting and semi knowing how these systems are I have less the 2 full days in, I'm close to cracking this to full Ubuntu boot up, I'm glad this is a true hobby, but I have some college education in these said field so I'm not completely dumb of it. Lol, thanks again and I will let you know what I discover next here in a few when I input you code. Oh and I'm getting ansy man! FedEx still hasn't delivered my new computer yet! Said by the end of day which is 8pm EST. on Sunday.

It says can't find /dev/sdb/mnt in /etc/fstab

Is the USB drive plugged into the computer?

You are not typing the command in correctly. Although the drive might not be /dev/sdb.

(see jpg.attachment)As I've Inputted both ways with USB in I've gotten the same response for both commands.

Your typing in the command wrong.
You are leaving out the spaces. Look up the syntax for the mount command.

Oh I see said the blind man! I'm getty with that soon, just got my new computer about 30 minutes ago so it's now got my full attention!

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdb /mnt
