I install Ubuntu on my Chromebook using the method described in this video it worked great for two months. Then I tried to get GIMP through the Software Center, but it said that I couldn't, because I would have to remove a "file that was essential to my system". I then installed it with the terminal and it took a long time and then it removed the Software Center and who knows what else and it didn't work. I went out of Ubuntu and tried to go back in later using "sudo startunity" as described in the video and it automatically closed.
How do I get back into Ubuntu or at least get the remaining files off of it? Please help, I have very little programming and Linux experience so I am mostly clueless about what to do.

How do I get my files from my /home partition, that didn't make to much sense to me. Would I put a "live linux distro" USB into my Chromebook and access the files or just reinstall like that video says and it will ask me if it wants to overwrite the files that are hiding in my disk?
