Instead of the purple GRUB screen, everything I see when I try to boot is this. How to fix this?

Edit: Yes, I have multiple partitions. I recently tried to expand the size of the partition in which Ubuntu is installed (using GParted), but I cancelled the operation in the middle of the process because it was taking too long. When I tried to log in again, a message of error appeared. I then searched the web for a solution and I found a couple of terminal commands to reinstall GRUB. The result was this same screen below.

  • Did you recently install an OS? Do you have multiple hard drives in the computer where you might have Ubuntu installed on another drive? Please [edit](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1024473/edit) your question and give us some more information about your computer. If it doesn't say `grub rescue` that usually means that it is not seeing an installation of Ubuntu or a Linux on the system. – Terrance Apr 12 '18 at 22:43
  • Sounds like your Ubuntu partition is messed up. That can happen from cancelling or stopping a resize in the middle of it. You can try booting from a LiveCD and then using TestDisk to get your partition back. See: https://askubuntu.com/a/690414/231142 – Terrance Apr 13 '18 at 02:44
  • Does this answer your question? [Unable to boot Ubuntu after trying to mount partition in windows with ext2fat](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1145102/unable-to-boot-ubuntu-after-trying-to-mount-partition-in-windows-with-ext2fat) – karel Nov 25 '21 at 06:37
  • "I recently tried to expand the size of the partition in which Ubuntu is installed (using GParted), but I cancelled the operation in the middle of the process because it was taking too long." this almost certainly wrecked your system - the process copies and moves information located on the partition you are modifying – Organic Marble Nov 25 '21 at 13:41

Try entering insmod normal and then type normal to see if the system can boot normally from here.
