I was multitab browsing (around 15 tabs) in latest firefox for karmic koala (9.10)
and at the same time downloading (probably already auto-installing) in synaptic-package-manager the package: textlive-fonts-extra (and other necessary packages; this was around 90 mb download and 250 mb installation)
suddenly the pointer doesn't move anymore, (Alt+tab , and other combinations also didn't work anymore)
and I hold the power button untill the computer is turned off,
when I reboot I get this message
"invalid system disk, replace it and press any key to continue"
now I'm using a livedisc to boot the computer (jaunty 9.04)
To rebuild the system i think to manually install the packages that probably were interupted while installing and made it not work anymore
The packages to be installed when text-live-fonts is marked for install (in synaptic opened from the livedisc) are:
dvipdfmx
lmodern
text-common
texlive-base
texlive-base-bin
texlive-base-bin-doc
texlive-common
texlive-doc-base
texlive-fonts-extra-doc
This may be different with 9.10 configuration (can anybody look to see which are necessary with 9.10)
Does anybody have a good idea for this problem?
I think the computer wasn't responding anymore because I used too many tabs at ones.
I had this same problem a few times before in the past weeks but then I wasn't installing something and the computer did restart and firefox restored all the tabs.
I cannot enter /home/ from the livedisc (no permission)
and it's necessary , I am in the middle of exams and i need to print the paper that is on the disc by monday
Is there a way to enter it via command console?
PS is this the place where i can post such problems?
can somebody help?
