I dont know how to put this that somobody would understand my problem but here we go. I have problem like said in title.I am unable to upgrade my kernel. Sunaptics says that I have 2.6.35-28 installed. I tried to reinstall 2.6.35-28 via synaptics but it gives me error.
Thats what uname -a says:

I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.
I can't upgrade. I get: Quote: Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself.
I just did an upgrade of 9.10 amd64 system to 10.04. I'm pretty sure I messed up the grub2 upgrade.
When I try to start normally, I get an error like this:

I currently have 3 HD's on the system, all identical, with two of them in a software RAID.
Now, I *can* boot into 10.04 - by pressing F8 on startup, I can select the second of the three HDs, and it will start up normally.
When I do start up, everything seems to work fine, but whenever I reboot, I get the same grub error, and have to manually hit F8 and select the second drive.
I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 using the upgrade option in the Update Manager and now my system fails to boot.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and did an upgrade yesterday via the Update Manager. Just installed all proposed upgrades. After rebooting, my newest kernel throws an error 16: inconsistent filesystem structure. When I select my previous kernel from the GRUB, no problems. How do I debug this error? Or better yet, how do I fix it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently upgraded to 10.10 via Update Manager. After upgrade my Epson Stylus R340 printer wouldn't work. In main menu I went to System->Administration->Printing. Nothing was listed under printers any longer. Clicked Help->Troubleshooting. It suggested to go to System->Administration->Services. No Services menu was listed under System->Administration. In Terminal I ran [sudo lshw], no printer was listed. I then went to the Synaptic Package Manager and searched Epson and checked reinstall on all packages which were installed. The reinstall returned this error "E: gsfonts: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" followed by several package dependency problems. I then followed the same steps after a search for cups in Synaptic Package Manager. After those packages were reinstalled got the same error, "E: gsfonts: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1". That error was also followed by a list of broken package dependencies. Again I followed the same steps for all gsfonts installed packages. The reinstall produced the same results again.

When I try to upgrade ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 I get the error message
Error during commit
'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend openoffice.org-core for openoffice.org-filter-binfilter, probably a dependency cycle.'
Restoring original system state
After it finishes downloading the files. I completely removed all openoffice related files on my computer and i still get the message.
Im getting an error:
Not Enough Disk Space.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I think im getting this error because I didnt allocate enough space to the Ubuntu partition when I installed it. How do I allocate more space to the Ubuntu partition? If this is not possible, is it possible to install 10.04 from my Windows?
After downloading the packages I get the following error message:
"Could not install the upgrades

yesterday i upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. During installation i also upgraded grub to version 2. It said that there were two options that i could choose to boot and i choose both. Installation finished with out a hitch. When i attempted restart my laptop i got this message:
error: no such device: 12631218-8ac6-4505-b4cb-a66a1de1814f
grub rescue>
I tried the command help and received a message saying that the help command was not recognized. So i then gave Google a bit of a work out and have tried reinstalling grub and manually coping the grub files all to no avail. The problem i believe stems from how i have Ubuntu installed. I have Ubuntu installed like an application on windows 7 on a separate partition on my hard drive. Looking back on it i'm not to sure why i choose that route, but that is how it is installed.
when i was updating my ubuntu 10.04 using update manager i got the error"W.A error occurred during the signature verification.the post is not updated and teh previous index files are used .GPG error: http://deb.playonlinux.com lucid release.

I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. Previously, I had a dual booting system where GRUB allowed me to boot 9.10 or WinXP. I have two hard drives - an 80 GB drive with XP and a 1 TB drive with Ubuntu.
During the upgrade I chose to upgrade my GRUB version. I only selected to install grub on the Ubuntu drive. I didn't work - I couldn't even get GRUB to load. It just gave the error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found.
So I reconfigured GRUB and installed it on both drives. Now GRUB loads and I can boot 10.04 just fine, but I can no longer boot XP.
What command should I run to give you a glimpse of my system? Would that help diagnose this?
I am having trouble upgrading and updating. When updating the file downloads to 99% and then stops. The error message is:

I believe this has something to do with a power outage while upgrading a few days ago. Most of the install completed after rebooting, all except the three 'linux kernel image' files and a few others. Also, as a side issue, Flash plugin and Flex builder are no longer working. This may be unrelated. Does any one have any trouble shooting advice for the issue?
I run apt-get upgrade and get

I tried upgrading to 11.04 this morning and after rebooting grub left me at the grub rescue> prompt with the message 'error: unknown filesystem'. I've tried purging and reinstalling grub using a live-cd but no joy.
Let me know what additional information to provide. EDIT: Here is the output from the Boot Info Script

I want to upgrade my kernel from version 2.6.38-10 to 3 I downloaded the kernel 3 from kernel.org by this command :wget url while i'm in /tmp directory
and i did these commands also
$ tar -xjvf linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
$ cd /usr/src
till now everything is okay so now the next step as my manual
$ make gconfig
that's give me this result

* Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
* the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed...
* You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0.

and the gtk+ is installed correctly but don't know what's wrong exactly .
After one year of squeeze use without problem (and without upgrade) on a laptop and I decided to upgrade everything today. During the upgrade, I was asked what partition grub should handle. There was 2 choices /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. I checked only the last one and this is I think the source of my problem.
Now restarting the system, grub fails and reports
Entering rescue mode... error: the symbol `grub_xputs` not found and leave a useless prompt grub rescue>
I don't have a rescue cd at hand right now. I have a usb key with some old version of eeebuntu (my laptop is not a eeepc) and surprisingly I can boot on it.
I'm encountering a python error in the beginning of the upgrade. See screenshot. How can this be solved or should I indeed file a bug report? Problem is that except for taking the picture, I've been unable to save the info.
