Ubuntu blank screen with blinking cursor on start after stopping bleachbit process

Time:10-29

I was trying to clear my system cache using the bleachbit software. However It was taking too long, so I closed it.

But when I tried to restart system, its failing. Only a blank screen with blinking cursor is being displayed.

CodePudding user response:

One of the reasons for this issue might be the incomplete deletion of some files which can cause the system to show full storage space. This can be resolved by clearing some cache files in the system.

First, restart the system, in GNU Grub options,

  1. select "Advanced options for Ubuntu" - open ubuntu in recovery mode.
  2. In Recovery Menu, select "System Summary" and check the available space of your system ("/dev/..."). If the available space is 0, this is the reason for the issue.

To access the system via terminal,

  1. press Ok to go back to Recovery Menu.
  2. Select "root" to access the system terminal as the root user.
  3. Now run the command rm -rf ~/.cache/ [This will remove the files in cache]
  4. type exit and restart the system, Ubuntu will load normally.
