Ubuntu :: Cannot Boot After Package Updates
Dec 4, 2010
I am having a dual boot with Windows 7 OS(64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.10. I installed Ubuntu through Wubi installer from my Windows 7. Usually when I start my computer it first shows my Windows Boot Manager screen. It shows a menu with 2 options Windows 7 and Ubuntu. For getting into Windows 7 I need to choose the first option. For booting into Ubuntu I need to choose the 2nd option i.e Ubuntu. And then it would show me a Grub boot menu with the options being different kernel versions and recovery modes etc. The latest I had was some 2.6.26 version.
I recently did a package update with update-manager. After the update I am not able to boot into Ubuntu. After the Windows boot manager screen it takes me to a screen that says something like
Try (hd0, 0): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 1): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 2): NTFS5:
After this the screen turns into full white and then it automatically reboots! It doesn't take me to the Grub menu! It happens quite fast that to even read the above 3 lines it took to try booting a number of times!
One thing I noticed in the package update was that grub was one of the updated packages. Another thing is that in my Windows 7 in c: directory there is a file called wubuildr whose creation time is almost the same time as when the package update happened. There is also a wubuildr.mbr but it's creation and last modification times are much older. But then I am clueless as to what is the purpose of the file and so I am not sure how to use it to fix this problem if possible.
Also through ext2explore program from Windows 7 I could copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /var/log/dpkg.log files. I have attached grub.cfg and dpkg.log with .txt extensions. In the dpkg.log file that I attached I just removed all lines except those containing "upgrade" so that it wouldn't be too long a file and you can easily see just what packages were upgraded.

I had installed Ubuntu server 10.04 and i am trying to install Webmin for GUI.
When i start with "sudo apt-get install update" the following gets displayed...
Reading package list... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package updates
I had configured correct IP address and i am connected with internet. After googling for some time i figured out that missing repository could cause such problem, which i am not sure.

1. When you lock a package shouldn't updates be ignored? I locked a few but the update-manager keeps bothering me about them.
2. Seems like randomly the checkbox for treat recommended packages as dependencies turns true. It has seemed that way for at least a year.

I have the package "xvidcap" (Screen recorder) installed in Ubuntu, the problem I have is the version I have installed is an older version and there is a newer version avaliable, but I don't want to install the newer version as this breaks some functionality regarding screen capturing e.g. audio capturing. But each time I run Update Manager the package appears in the list to be upgraded.
Is there anyway to flag the package as do not upgrade or something to make it not appear in Update Manager or at least have it greyed out so the checkbox isn't automatically checked each time update manager is ran?

Two weeks ago I consumed all available FC13 updates. It was a terrible mistake. After that my my PC does not function properly and I have no clue how to fix it. I would like to get my PC in the previous (healthy) state. Is there an easy way to undo the updates? More than 60 packages were updated, but I do not remember which ones.

I am using Fedora 14 and I need to install the libudev-devel package, but the following error occurs:
Error: Package: libudev-devel-161-8.fc14.i686 (updates)
Requires: udev = 161-8.fc14
This is because the actual version I have installed is:
udev-161-9.fc14.i686 (@updates-testing)
How can I downgrade to the udev-161-8.fc14.i686 package?

I would like the updater applet to offer updates other than security fixes from the base repos. For example I would like to be notified automatically about updates for VLC and Chrome. How do I do that?

I'm running Debian Lenny on my trusty old Thinkpad T41 laptop. Everything is running great with only one issue I can't seem to resolve. Under Gnome, the package manager will state that there are updates available. When I run the package manager to install the updates, none are listed. From the console, when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, it states that there are 0 packages available. I have no idea why this is happening. I'm not receiving any error messages and none of the sources are giving errors.

After the most recent Firefox update (3.6.6), Flash video has stopped working. I have the Flash player plugin from Adobe (adobe-flashplugin version 10) and it is not working. I have tried uninstalling it and installing the flashplugin-installer package instead, that did not, so I reinstalled the adobe-flashplugin package and still have nothing. All using synaptic package manager.
More specifically, flash videos do not show up at all: ....., anything: just a blank spot on the screen.

Since applying a number of updates using the online update tool in Yast, the online update tool can no longer contact the software repositories which were configured in Yast.If i browse to the URL which is configured within the software repo config tool, I can see the updates & folders fine in Firefox.Zypper seems to do the same thing & just sits there if I do zypper update.I see a number of other people in this forum have had the same problems, any ideas as I couldn?t find a resolution?

Is there a package in YUM now that automatically updates amavisd-new to version 2.6.4??? My VM comes stock with version 2.5.4 and i absolutely CANNOT update it to 2.6.4 due to incompatibility issues in Maia Mailguard. When I do the package upgrade I don't understand but i specifically do NOT choose amavisd-new to be updated and everytime I check to see my latest version it is at version 2.6.4 I don't get it am I missing something? What can be causing my package to always get upgraded to the new version when I am not upgrading it.
I have spamassassin 3.3.1
clamav 0.96
postfix 2.3.3

I read a few threads about updating packages in opensuse 11.3, and about switching to a repository, but I still don't understand a few things. On earlier versions of opensuse I was used to set the repository priorities in an order that was convenient for me, and when I did an update, the vendor changed if needed.
Now, vendor change is not allowed by default, and I don't understand the right way to handle repositories, and updates. I found out that in Software Managment there is an option to allow vendor change, but I'm not sure that's the right way.

I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.

I've been having a problem on my AMD based machine, 4cpu, gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h Mobo, 8GB mem, two 2 terabyte Sata HDs.One thing I've found is that any kernel after 2.6.32-17 has a randomness at boot time whether the system will completely boot or not.
For instance just today I downloaded and installed 2.6.32-24
It fails to boot (I've tried cold boot, warm boot).Running its repair also fails to completely boot.My experience is that if I keep trying it "may" eventually boot but I believe there was some change after 2.6.32-17-generic that's causing the problem.Because as with 2.6.32.23... which also fails to complete bootup many times... eventually my guess is that 2.6.32.24 will also boot "sometimes".But why does 2.6.32.17 always boot for me? Something changed and its not my setup.

When I run updates I get a long list of packages for which it says 'The following package updates will NOT be installed'. I'm wondering why not?
The only thing I can think of is I followed the guide in a sticky thread in the Multimedia forum to get codecs installed, and part of that is to change the vendor of some Opensuse packages to packman.
Code:
~> sudo zypper up
Retrieving repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Update' metadata [done]
Building repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Update' cache [done]
Retrieving repository 'packman' metadata [done]
Building repository 'packman' cache [done]

I have Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook remix installed on an Acer Aspire one netbook. I just did about 200MB of updates and now it won't boot into Ubuntu. It is a Wubi installation. When I try to boot into ubuntu I get the following:
First a couple of references to drives flash on the screen,
Then I get a text screen with the following:
Error: unknown command: loadfont
Error: file not found
Then after a few seconds the screen goes blank.I would like to recover the installation or at least recover the files on the 'linux partition' (altho it is not really a partition but a file as it is a wubi install)Can I access it (the data) via a liveCD/USB boot sufficiently to either repair the installation or copy off the data?

I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday on a new machine. I started the update manager before I went to bed, (over 300mb's of updates) This morning the computer was unresponsive to get the monitor to come out of sleep. Was forced to power down. I imagine it was at a point of configuring one of the first updates. Now when I try to boot this is what I get......
udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
udevadm settle is not permitted while udev is unconfigured.
svgalib: cannot open /dev/mem.
how to go about configuring?

I am running a dual boot system - Ubuntu / Win. XPI installed the security updates in Ubuntu and followed the prompt to restart the computer. Now I can't boot into Ubuntu. When I try, the machine simply restarts. I can still log into windows just fine, but Ubuntu won't load no matter how many times I try.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 but I can only use Windows 7 now (I hate it). Here's why: when I go to the boot screen and I am given the choice of using Windows 7 or Ubuntu and I select Ubuntu, the screen goes black and says:
error: unknown command 'loadfont' error: file not found
Then I have to reset my laptop and use Windows 7. This happened when I was using Ubuntu like I usually did and I downloaded recommended updates from Ubuntu. I downloaded them and I was asked to reset my laptop for it to be effective. I did and when the boot screen came up it said what it says above. I can't even get to the login screen. I've been searching everywhere for an answer.
