Lost power during upgrade, how do I recover?
- by Ryan McClure
I was attempting to update my 11.10 install to 12.04beta. During the install step, I accidentally lost power to my laptop (the power cable came unplugged) and it shut down. Whenever I go to boot now, I can select my install via Grub and it loads up to where the sign-in should happen, but I get a display that looks like what you see as soon as you shut down. It looks like it locks after checking for the battery.
Is there anyway, with or without Live media, to restore my machine's install/update to 12.04 but still keep my settings/applications/files?
