Removing packages from within busybox (startup hang after new packages installed)

[Afromonkey0]

Hi,

I'm a complete ubuntu noob, though i was pretty good with windows. In a fit of joy at how damn easy 'apt-get install' is for adding new packages, i went and added about 10 before rebooting, like an idiot. Now ubuntu will not boot, and shows this as the last few lines when i boot in verbose mode (or whatever it's called)

input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [Dell Dell USB Keyboard Hub on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2.1
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
/build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver

This is Hardy Heron installed with Wubi on a Dell machine. Stuff I installed, if I remember correctly, a bunch of python modules, blutooth drivers, and I think also amarok media player, though that may have been earlier.
I have a hunch it's the bluetooth, because the bluetooth USB dongle is plugged into the USB port on my keyboard, and it hangs on USB-HID.

So, is there a way that I can get rid of whatever is causing the problem from within the inramfs(?) it drops me into if I press return at the hang? The normal terminal commands don't work.
If not, what else can I do?

Thanks in advance :)

P.S You guys have got an incredible OS here, I've had no compatibility problems and the thing out 'wow's vista even on my old PC. No graphics card and not a frame of lag, CPU barely ticking over, just incredible.

It depends when the hang happens. Normally the command is:

sudo apt-get remove PKG-NAME

It depends when the hang happens. Normally the command is:

sudo apt-get remove PKG-NAME

I get
/bin/sh: sudo: not found

Like I said, the normal commands don't work. Is there another way?

Thanks though, quick response.

Edit: without sudo it says
/bin/sh: apt-get: not found

That means that you are still in the initrd when it hangs. Try to boot in rescue mode (press esc at boot after "ubuntu")

That's my bad, I forgot to say I'm in rescue mode already. In normal mode I just get a blank screen.
What do I do in rescue mode?

did you find any solution?

It works now, though this problem was a really long time ago and I can't remember how i fixed it. I may have just reinstalled the whole OS.

Sorry i can't be of more help.
