I was upgrading my computer to the newest edition of Ubuntu when I lost power to the device, thus shutting it down. It had already downloaded everything and was in the process of installing everything.
When I got power back I attempted to boot my computer.
It is a laptop, but it has no battery so it shut off when the power shut off
When I rebooted my computer it booted like normal, and even had the bar that slides over as it boots. When that was full it went to a black screen with text on it
At the bottom of this screen it says Checking Battery state....
/dev/sda:
setting advanced power management level to Oxfe (254)
after about ten or fifteen minutes of this it said [ok] on the other side
then:
stopping anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
then after a bit
starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
then
stopping anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
It has stayed this way for a while now im leaving it on to see if it ever progressess.
I realize that I may have to install from a CD but Im hoping I do not have to
I have alot of data that is only on that computer and I do not back up, because Im am stupid.
Anyway any idea or advice or help?
