My system is getting stuck after the update to 9.04, this is how far I get:
Boot from (hd0,0) aa3a and more number..
Starting up ...
That's it. Then, After 10 minutes or so the screen goes blank and that's it, no more action.
Meanwhile, I figured out that pressing "Esc" during booting, I got to several startup options: The one that don't work work at all (meaning I get stuck after a while again) are the Kernel 2.6.28-11 ones. When I pick Kernel 2.6.27-11 generic or the generic (recovery) option, I get back to the desktop. Perfect, I thought, but now I have to do this every time during start-up, otherwise I'm stuck at the "Starting up ..." display.
I was trying to use CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to the terminal display as somebody suggested (and then use
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo dpkg-- configure -a
but CTRL-ALT-F2 just gets me back to "Starting up ...".
Is there a way around this (I am fairly new to Ubuntu, so anyone who has any ideas, please keep it simple).
Thanks much in advance.
