i was stupidly repairing driver issue using this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure i think i was here

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get install pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm3 ubuntu-desktop  linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2; sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm3 ubuntu-desktop  linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*; ubuntu-support-status || ubuntu-security-status; sudo usermod -aG `cat /etc/group | grep -e '^pulse:' -e '^audio:' -e '^pulse-access:' -e '^pulse-rt:' -e '^video:' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's:,$::g'` `whoami

and i might issued "reboot" before the troubleshooting commands finished, i have access to xfce session but not graphical interface, when i boot the pc ( hooked to the TV) I'm faced with GNU GRUB i tried to go to recovery mode and file check and file repair without luck, i tried this Stuck at GRUB command line with no luck too!! i have root access to the terminal through xfce session which i run from my laptop using Chrome remote desktop, the monitor hooked to pc is black blank with little white blinking dash in top left corner ETA:i can run xfce remotely, but I can't Access Ubuntu desktop (native GUI ie. the PC) i can access tty2-4 and login but when i switch back to to tty1 i have black screen

Can you get to [a TTY](https://askubuntu.com/questions/66195/what-is-a-tty-and-how-do-i-access-a-tty)?

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

[Xfce](https://www.xfce.org/) is a GUI desktop; so it's not clear what your issue is.

@someone task would be better - `sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^ gdm3 gnome-shell` .

@N0rbert It will install a lot of packages though. Are you sure it is good reinstalling task package? It is probably 700mb above, right?

We do not know what is broken. So we should fix it in massive way :)

@N0rbert What is correct syntax for `dpkg -i --force ./deb` ?

N0rbert

On low level serious breakages I use `dpkg -i --force-all ./package-name.deb` then `sudo apt-get install --reinstall package-name` . Let's keep on-topic and wait for reaction from OP.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
