Some months ago I dual booted Ubuntu 22.04 with Windows 10 on my desktop computer. All was working fine until I installed Gnome Shell Extensions

Then I decided that I did not need the Shell extensions, I searched online and probably got ancient info on how to uninstall them. The next day when I tried to boot up Ubuntu 22.04 I got what looks like a Terminal page that reads:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS  doug-24-b019 tty1. doug-24-b019 login:

So entered my login. Then:

I entered my password. Then:

BUT the GUI Ubuntu 22.04 screen will not come up. Windows boots up just fine from the Ubuntu boot loader but not Ubuntu. I think I am basically a Linux newbie having tried Ubuntu years ago with a long number of years in between before trying this present dual boot. Can Ubuntu be repaired?

Sounds like you may have uninstalled the entire desktop, not just the extensions. Have you tried reinstalling the desktop? `sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop`

Matigo, your directions worked. I am now fully operational with Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10 dual boot again. Thank you very much.

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.
