Kubuntu repair program

[Saonriyu]

I had a mayor crash on my Kubuntu 7.04 2 days ago when it wouldn't let me log in. I tried using the instal disk to repair it but there is no option to repair the Kubuntu and i'm not sure if there is. Is there a separate program to repair the whole Kubuntu or an option on the install disk? Because if not I would have to delete all my documents and I don't want to. Right now i'm using the cd to allow me to work on the pc. But can anyone help me please?

if anyone needs to know the problem I had well it was this:

I turned on my pc one day and when I tried logging in it wouldn't allow me. I placed the sn and password it then it would send me to a black screen and back to the log in page. I tried with the three sns I had on the pc and none worked. I need to repair the system but I don't know if there is an option in the install disk

I turned on my pc one day and when I tried logging in it wouldn't allow me. I placed the sn and password it then it would send me to a black screen and back to the log in page.

When you are in the log page: Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 (or F2...6)
Do you get "login:" text ?


From Virtual console
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console

a virtual console (VC, sometimes virtual terminal, VT) is a conceptual combination of the keyboard and the display for a user interface. The concrete combination is the system console of the computer, where the user can switch between the virtual consoles to access multiple unrelated user interfaces. Usually in Linux, the first six virtual consoles provide a text terminal with a login prompt to a unix shell. The graphical X Window System starts in the seventh virtual console.

If yes:
You could get in at text mode and -

a)
Check xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
Is there errors ?

With nano:

nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log

"nano is a small, free and friendly editor" works in the text mode.

b)
You could try to reconfigure xserver:

- New xorg.conf with default options

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

- You know something about hardware

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
