Ubuntu :: Crash Between 10.04 To 11.04 Upgrade - Access To Files From LiveCD?
Aug 17, 2011
Yesterday, while upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04, the computer crashed. For this reason, when I reboot, Ubuntu doesn't recognize any longer the root folder and so on... and halts execution in a blank screen (well before the login screen).I'm currently running LiveCD and I can see the Filesystem with the root folder, the bin folder, home folder and so on....My question is How can I access the files I had in my desktop from LiveCD? I know the user and password so how can I access it?

I using only Livecd CentOS 5.4 and my system crash in day about ~3-5 times , so I tired and want to know why this happen. (before I used live-cd 5.3 about 3 weeks and this problem still was. info : Linux livecd. localdomain 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:33:56 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux.I load system perfect and If I just browsing then I will have crash after 5 hours latter , but if I install wine , xmms,lame,xmms-mp3,k3b-mp3,flash-plugin and after installing software I will look movies from internet , or lisining music on xmms mp3 format - my system UPTIME max will be ~30 minutes or less..And I want to ask, or in Live-cd I can start Firewall ? Becouse I think it's not started and then I try to ENABLE its looks like not responding.

I run ubuntu, 2 partion, one primary for / , one for /home and ofc swap.When I run the Livecd, at the partition step I do:
-Custom
-Select my / partition to install
-When I select next I get the error "blah blah, must be probably a bug...." and system crashes.
After system crach I can't boot into Ubuntu or anything, it gets me on the "error 11 ( think is 11 ) grub> " screen.Also, I think its something with my nouveau drivers, I think i get an error when boots the LiveCD something like "fudc...". It happens really fast and I can't read it properly.I did this procedure twice to write the errors, but it happens too fast to check them out. Also, is there a way to prepare the system before installing the Fedora, to avoid these errors?

I upgraded from Suse 10.3 to 11.2, since when my Win XP box can't access the Linux files. All was OK before upgrading. The Linux (Suse 11.2) can access the Win files fine using Samba and the workgroup.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS in a dual boot environment with XP. Except that I have two hard drives: One with Ubuntu and XP and one with just XP. The MBR on the XP-only drive has an entry named "Linux" which points to the grub loader for the split drive. I tried to reinstall windows on its partition on the split drive, but the install process hung and I've never figured out how to make it finish. I didn't use that partition for this entire episode. Yesterday I booted into Ubuntu and tried to log in, but immediately after entering username and password I was presented with an error message (full screen, blue background, red "ok" button). I don't remember exactly what the wordage was but it had something to do with a hard drive error.
I thought I was experiencing hard drive failure, but I hit the reset button and successfully booted into the windows-only installation. I didn't think the problem was anything more than a random error. Today I tried to boot into Ubuntu, but immediately after the splash screen I was greeted with BusyBox v1..1..3 with an (initramfs) prompt. I restarted and tried Ubuntu again and immediately I encountered the grub> prompt (no grub bootloader, no splash screen). Confused about why the prompts had changed I decided to boot into Windows, but at the welcome screen an error dialog from lsass.exe informed me of an unrecoverable error in the registry: the semi-famous "registry could not read in, write out, or flush." Next I tried the live CD.
Using the live CD I could access the contents of both of my windows partitions, but not my Ubuntu partition. Navigating to "FileSystem" using the LiveCD only yields the directories created for the LiveCD session. I tried again to boot into windows and it worked, so I'm hoping the message from lsass.exe was just a random hiccup. Right now I'm pretty much only concerned with getting the Ubuntu partition backed up, and then performing a fresh install. Content from the windows installations is fully backed up. The fact that using a LiveCD gives me access to the windows partition on the split drive makes me certain that the drive has not physically died.
Using "fdisk -l" produces no output, and "dmesg" gives some errors at the end of the output:
[310.832172] EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
[341.900881] VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda5.

My attempts to use the grub> prompt to reinstall grub return an error (error 15, I think?) when I try "find /boot/grub/stage1".

How to access internet using above CD? I normally connect through dsl/wired connection/static IP with router and modem. I'm not sure in livecd if I use pppoeconf in terminal (which returns "access concentrator" fault) or if I first configure it within System/Network for static IP.

I upgraded my desktop from 9.10 to 10.04 and I have no sound.
When I boot from the 10.04 livecd, sound works fine.
gnome-volume-control does not get loaded into the taskbar, when I run it from the console there is nothing listed under hardware.
I also tried creating a fresh new user account, no sound on that either but gnome-volume-control does get loaded into taskbar but still nothing under hardware.
aplay -l does list sound devices ...
Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Something went wrong with my computer. I want to copy my data folders to a usb drive and reinstall. So I'm using a livecd. However I can't access the folder. Under home/username the username folder shows a no-entry sign. When I use gksu nautilus I get loose the no-entry sign but just find a text file. How do I get access to the files that are there, I think they are encrypted.

I am using the Ubuntu 7.10 Livecd with some modifications I did, and I wanted to update the base-system to the most recent release of Ubuntu. Once I have chrooted into the custom ISO's root filesystem do I use:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
or
Code:
aptitude update
aptitude upgrade
or neither?

I have an i5 sandy bridge PC with a gigabyte H67M mobo. I have been running maverick amd64 till yesterday. On maverick graphic acceleration didn't work so I decided to upgrade. After upgrade my computer hangs during bootup (with ubuntu logo on screen). I cannot see messages on screen, wasn't ESC key for that? Live CD seems to boot but also hangs computer after loading purple login wallpaper before login dialog is shown. To me it seems a graphic card regression issue since intel mobo graphic card wasn't working fine on maverick too. Also tried to manage with fail-safe graphic mode but this also hangs computer. Is there any log where I can see errors during last bootup from maverick live-cd?

I have this problem since upgrade to lucid.
Every time I start my computer, from the power button, it crash after 6 minutes. It only could be recovered from the reset button, not CTRL + ALT + DEL nor REISUB.
I think it only happens if I don't touch anything in that 6 minutes.
syslog show this during crash:
Code:
Jun 10 07:46:21 antonio-desktop kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Jun 10 07:46:21 antonio-desktop rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="725" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] (re)start
Jun 10 07:46:21 antonio-desktop rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 102

I've upgraded my 10.04 (64bits) into 10.10 (64bits) on sunday and since I can't get thunderbird working anymore, I get the following error :
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 612: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
It seems nspluginwrapper has similar issues...
I've seens there has been similar problems with skype but downgrading to ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu26_amd64.deb didn't fix the problem.

I've been using Ubuntu since Feisty Fawn, so I've been around the block when it comes to upgrades. From 9.10 to 10.04 I did a clean install, but I decided to try my luck with a web upgrade to 10.10. Well, so far it looks like that was a bad idea. I can't stay in gdm for more than about 1.5 mins before it crashes and drops me back to the greeter. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what's crashing, but I'll append what logs I think will give some info.

Just tried to upgrade my mythbuntu box from lucid to maverick.
It crashed during the upgrade. On re-boot it now stops at a dialog telling me its running in low graphics mode because it cannot load/find the nvidia drivers. I am unable to close the dialog. No mouse, no keyboard.
ESC will not let me interrupt the boot to get to a recovery console.

Both programs were working just fine yesterday before the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04.
Opening Gimp results in many error pop-ups on being unable to locate module gimp and module gimpfu. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, and the installation fails with this message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2010072701~ll is to be installed Depends: gimp-data (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2010072701~ll is to be installed
This may be because of times in the past where I tried to compile Gimp. Do I need to clean up my repositories list? (in that case, any way to get a fresh one?)
Inkscape doesn't open at all, instead the terminal message says this:
inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libwpg-0.1.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I'm not sure what's wrong in the case of Inkscape though, although I did compile a few versions long ago I was using the "normal" version from the Ubuntu repositories afterwards.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 from the LiveCD--smooth install, OS looks great-elegant.Now, since I have to use dial-up, I need to install additional files from the LiveCD that aren't installed by default:
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvdial wvdial_1.60.3_i386.deb
...and
[LiveCD]:poolmainwwvstreams [3 sw packages]
How do I get these files from the CD, and make them run on the Ubuntu installation? I've checked in the UI, and see various terms I don't yet understand. Do I extract the packages? Or do I open a pgm in Ubuntu, in which I specify the path to the files on the CD?
I'm going to use an external USRobotics 5637 USB modem that is supposed to work in Linux; just need to configure Ubuntu for this. I have the ISP DNS server numbers and modem is ready. I've seen online info, but I'm stuck at this very basic step.

Was running the upgrade through the manager this morning and the download got about 3/4 of the way and froze up making the system unresponsive I left this for an hour to see if it would resolve its self but no luck so as the installation hadn't begun I hit the power button. BIG mistake now when I try boot to 9.10 it hits a black screen with white ubuntu logo much like 9.10 but no loading bar. it just hangs at this now. I am currently posting this from a live usb I made from an ISO of 10.4 i downloaded on my girl friends windows machine. Is it possible to either fix the 9.10 installation or update the files on the 9.10 installation to 10.4 from the live disk(I have the option to make a 9.10 live disk if needed)?

Today I was prompted to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.1, and then again to 10.04
Doing these upgrades wreaked havoc on my system. I have been able to fix most of the problems that were caused but I am having trouble finding information on the following:
When I boot up the system and after passing the GRUB loader, the system freezes up at the login screen and I have to power down.
If I hit ESC at the GRUB screen and choose Kernel 2.6.32-25-generic (recovery mode) and then choose "failsafe graphic mode", then I am able to log in to GNOME as normal.

I have a Dell studio running ubuntu for two years now. I had ubuntu 10.04, but a few days ago, the update manager started to bug me that some stuff don't work properly and that I need to to a partial upgrade. I postponed that for a while, and all worked fine, but I finally had sometime and clicked "yes", all began collapsing:
1) the update manager crashed while updating.
2) I rebooted and ran it again. same crash at the same stage.
3) I decided, god knows why, to do a full upgrade to 10.10, which also crasehd.
Now it won't even boot. It always get stuck at a line saying "no IPv6 routers present" or something of that sort. when I switch off manually the wireless switch on the laptop, the boot gets stuck a bit earlier, on a line that says: "laptop login:"
EDIT: I just remembered something which might be important: I had a hibernation problem on the upgrade to 10.04, so I played around a bit with that. now it uses libgcrypt, and I remember I set up something manually then, but I can't remember what.

I was upgrading my laptop from 10.10 to 11.04. The laptop crashed part way through the upgrade (fairly far in, at least an hour after downloads completed, a few minutes after grub installer asked some questions). The crash was from another issue besides the update
Now when the computer boots it immediately goes into kernal panic (black screen, flashing caps lock light). when selecting recovery mode, it boots for about a 5 seconds then hangs.
I can however at grub select Previous versions of ubuntu > 2.6.35-28 and it will boot succesffully and run without error. Currently running like this to post this message. For the most part everything looks as if it has upgraded. To things worth mentioning.
Code:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found
[code]....
I backed up my home folder just in case but didn't do a system backup. Wasn't worried if I broke it and had to reinstall, but this doesn't look in my (possibly incorrect) to bad.
