I upgraded my Ubuntu this morning. I suppose I didn't look carefully enough at warnings/errors, for when the machine told me it was time for a restart I just did that. And now, upon booting, I get the following error The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present I can manually recover the / directory by mounting it from the command-line. That works. I've also run fsck which found some minor errors. But none of these really solve the problem. I've found that it's probably cause by apt-get not having finished and thus leaving the system in an unbootable state. To fix this, I can run apt-get upgrade -f -- which, indeed tells me there are many packages to be upgraded. However, to do so I obviously need a network connection. And the machine has stopped seeing any network. By running start networking I can get localhost back, which is nice but not very helpful as I need eth0. Any thoughts? Thanks. Martijn.
It should be 'recoverable' Try sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get -f upgrade sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo reboot -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
