[[=Vion=]]

Just upgraded to 9.10 but Im having problems. Everything finished fine but when the PC restarted I couldnt get passed the white ubuntu lo then....nothing... Just a black screen. I tried starting in recovery mode but on top of the ususal menu this shows up in black: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: ESC for recovery shell swap waiting for UUID=0d0c5412 blab bla bla

Plz help....

Try the following steps:


Boot up from Live CD
Open a terminal
sudo fdisk -l
run fsck for every device you see but not extended, or swap (I forgot)
Mount /dev/sda1 (root partition) on /mnt
cd /mnt/etc/X11
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.mybackup
cp xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf
reboot.


If you don't have the xorg.conf.failsafe this is the contents.
Code:


# xorg.conf.failsafe (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

Ah Ok, I misread your post, thought you couldn't get in the root shell.

Just follow steps 6,7,8,9

The shell takes me to my desktop. How would I navigate to said X11 from there?

crap no even the shell is failing. I can access ext3 via XP so I guess Im gonna have to work from there.
