Re: Can't boot, can you help?
That's not much to go on.
Have you ever been able to boot?
If so, when did it stop?
Some system info would be useful, and since you can't boot at least a description such a CPU, RAM, disk(s) number and size, what version of Mint and other similar specs.

Re: Can't boot, can you help?
It looks to me like the OP could use another install. Either from a dvd or maybe the live flash drive the OP is using to get the information. something got missed, or deleted, in the install.
This user is running a HP Mini circa 2008, 2 gb RAM, single core N270 processor XFCE 19.1 - 32 bit!

Re: Can't boot, can you help?
Boot from USB and run fsck on the partition on which Mint is installed. Run on /home too if it's a different partition.
where x is a or b and y is 1 or 2 depending on the partition.
Where is Mint installed? Which partition?
Code: Select all
sudo fsck -y /dev/sdxy

Re: Can't boot, can you help?
thanks all
i don't know on which partition mint is installed
this is not a new installation.
maybe all the problem is due to the home directory ws encrypted upon installtion back then?
if i install it freshly again all my files will be deleted
i don't know on which partition mint is installed
Code: Select all
mint@mint:~$ sudo fsck -y /dev/sdxy
fsck from util-linux 2.31.1

Re: Can't boot, can you help?
Code: Select all
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
After backup
Code: Select all
sudo umount /mnt; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
You can reinstall Mint now as your data is backed up.
Good Luck.
