Upgraded from 11.4 to 11.10, There was an error, now the system won't initiialize
- by Eric
This morning the system gave me a message that my Version (11.4) was no longer supported, and I took the 'upgrade' option (- 11.10). While installing the various components I encountered a message to the effect that the there was an error and the system may have become unusable.
Among the messges:
E:Sup-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault...returned an error code (1).
I was given an option to do several things, one of which seemed to mean that it would attempt to roll back to the previous version (the default), which I took. After the process ran it said the upgrade process had finished, but there were errors. I attempted to initialize a console so I could enter ubuntu-bug update-manager /var/log/dist-upgrade, per the instructions I received when I received the error message, but the console failed during initialization.
I restarted the machine, and the screen has stopped with the following contents:
* Starting bluetooth
* Stopping save kernel messages
* Starting CUPS printing spooler/server
* PulseAudio configured per-user sessions
saned disabled: edit /etc/default/saned
$starting up Cisco VPN daemon
*Starting anac(h)ronistic cron
*Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron
Each of these steps followed by [ OK ]
What are my options?
Any help appreciated!
