    Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    Hi guys I recently went to the update manager and noticed a upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 so I clicked upgrade. It tool a bit over an hr to download and install the package after it finished installing it restarted my system. Everything was looking good BIOS screen loaded then the ubuntu logo came up with the load bar. The bar loaded about 80% then the screen went black and no more happened. I restarted a number of times but no good a black screen everytime. Does anyone know what happened and how to fix it ? Can I restore to the 9.04 OS ? I don't want to have to reformat.

    Well you have done a upgrade from 9.04 Jaunty to 9.10 Karmic. Bad news is that Karmic is not released as stable version yet. Are you seeing any errors at all? Can you boot into recovery mode and try and repair broken packages, then select the option for normal boot!

    How do you boot into recovery mode so I can try and repair any broken packages. I don't get any errors at all just a black screen

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    I also just ran an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 using update-manager -d, and can never get the system to fully come up. Twice I've been able to get to the login screen before the system hangs, but when I tried booting into the recovery mode kernel option in Grub, the screen just goes black and, after a little hard drive light flickering, also appears to completely hang.

    Hardware is a Thinkpad T41, ATI MobilityRadeon 7500, ipw2200bg, etc.

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    Update: I was able to ssh into the system while it was at the login prompt (normal boot). I can post the full syslog, but these appear to be the last lines before dying:

    This was then oddly followed immediately by a *ton* of lines talking about packages on my system, like:
    Code:

    Package: gpgkeys
    Unseen: yes
    State:
    before the next system boot appeared in the log.

    The most system boot was preceded by this:

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    The radeon problem looks similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/270646 , except I don't have any external displays attached, and am not explicitly calling xrandr. Does karmic do this automatically, or anything?

    Other bugs in launchpad with this particular error message:

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    I checked out the Xorg log, and saw a message immediately before tons of messages corresponding to the same lock issue, which indicated that Xorg *did* believe that a device is attached to s-video (there is none).

    This now somewhat mirrors the behavior seen in comment #10 of the first bug I linked:
    On Intrepid x86_64 with some ATI integrated card, when X starts while my laptop is connected to my TV (with s-video), the laptop freezes, leaving me with a solid black screen.
    The difference here, is that I don't actually have anything attached to s-video output (xorg just seems to think I do?).

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    Bleh. The condition has gone from bad to worse. I ssh'd into the system this morning and ran an aptitude update, then safe-upgrade, and renamed the xorg.conf to see if that was causing problems. Since rebooting, now the machine does just hang at a blank screen after the ubuntu logo / progress bar immediately after grub is done.

    Single user mode still gives me *nothing,* so now the system is effectively entirely dead.

    I'm going to try an alpha5 boot disk, to see if I can revive anything.

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    Think I am having similar problems, right now my system seems to be stable after having to restart several times after upgrade. How do you check to see what version "Jaunty" you are currently running?
    Our biggest problem is always the one we are experiencing at the moment.

    Re: Major problem when upgrading to 9.10

    I am having the exact same problem. Everything was working fine, then upgraded 9.10 to the latest release, etc. Everything went fine. Starts the Ubuntu loading bar then goes black. Will not do anything at all. Think it is still running though because when I hold down the power button, the Ubuntu shut down bar comes up and the system shuts down.

    Not sure how to get out of this. I tried running in the recovery mode, and it did some un-installing/installing then rebooted and it did the same thing. Did not change anything hardware wise...

    Here is the system specs: ( I am running ubuntu on a seperate partition, installed with wubi originally)
