@jbreija I'm sorry you're experiencing such problems.

And I just wanted to mention that even if your system wont boot, all your files should still be there.
Booting from a LiveUSB stick should allow you to recover all your files - you could potentially even copy your entire home directory.

As mentioned by @gavanderhoorn, hopefully you can recover your files via any recovery tool

All you have to do is download fresh 16.04 and install lunar desktop and it clearly breaks the OS upon reboot.Ubuntu throws a ton of errors while booting and is non-recoverable. Its reproducible in 5 minutes.

I just tried this in a new virtual machine following your description and cannot reproduce the issue. Could you provide a series of step that allow to reproduce the issue? Did you succeed to reproduce this issue in a virtual environment or on another machine ?

Also know that typical ROS installations in my experience do not include anything that touches system(d) configuration in the way that seems to have happened for you, so this is definitely not normal.

I agree with this statement and don't see what in the ROS installation process can impact this.

This is the 4th time in 2 months ROS has destroyed my desktop just by installing the ROS environment. Please test your software before you waste peoples time.

ROS Lunar has been thoroughly tested and is current used by thousands of users in this exact configuration so I doubt that the lack of testing is the cause of your problems here. Again a detailed series of steps to reproduce the issue in a virtual environment with defined virtual hardware will be very helpful to make sure we can act on it if there is anything we have to fix on the ROS side.
