Host OS:    Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 LTS / Unity

System crashed while using PyCharm / Python3.
Booting takes forever and stuck at the purple screen with
the Ubuntu logo and the five dots cycling.
How to fix?


So, I tried Ubuntu repair methods suggested here...

How to Fix an Ubuntu System When It Won't Boot
http://www.howtogeek.com/196740/how-to-fix-an-ubuntu-system-when-it-wont-boot/
GRUB Boot Loader is accessible but using the recovery mode did not help.
It hangs with "Loading extension GLX" but I forget which command I used.

Then, I tried to...

Reinstall Ubuntu While Keeping Files and Programs

but, I am instead given the following options...
===========================================================
This computer currently has Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS on it.  What would you like
to do?

- Erase Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and reinstall
     Warning: This will delete all your Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS programs,
documents, photos...
- Install Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS alongside Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
     Documents, music, and other personal files will be kept.  You can choose
which operating system...
- Erase disk and install Ubuntu
- Something else
===========================================================

Perhaps, "Install Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS alongside Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS" is the
safest ?


It's easy to do a reinstall without wiping documents and application configurations/settings PROVIDING you have a separate / (root) and /home partition.

During partition you select Manual partitioning and assign the existing partitions being VERY careful to NOT format the existing /home.

But / where the OS and all applications reside will need to be formatted/deleted/overwritten.

Keeping the configuration on your /home might cause the old error to be included in the new install...

Although, you error seems to be the system, not the applications.
