Thanks Gulyan, I tried your first suggestion and as expected it did not work. After pressing enter the screen read '[sudo] password for nutzer:'. I typed in my login password and enter and the screen read: '* Starting GNOME Display Manager... [ OK ]' followed by the next line: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$'.
Then I tried your second suggestion and I am sorry to say it did not work either. AFter pressing enter the screen wrote several lines in German (I bought the computer in Germany and the computer is set up in the German language). I have tried to translate the text into english line by line Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig Packagelists are being read...
