So I installed gadmin-samba and during install it wanted to basically replace the entire system. I would never have though it needed so many dependencies reinstalled. So after it did this it wanted X to be restarted and first try was no good. I then ran startx and it came right up, now KDE4 ( was 3 I think ). I then ran a few apps and it died with error 11. Running startx stalled after that, and common commands like reboot where no longer available. So I forced it down. Now I get Terminated with status 127 on boot up in normal and recovery mode.
What I would like to do is upgrade to the latest server version. but I'm not sure ubuntu has an in place upgrade option. I see my 7.04 disc has a recover broken system but I dont know what to try. If I could get to a terminal would apt-get -f upgrade help? Worse case I could try a live cd and get the files I need off, any suggestions?
---Another thought.
I figured I could just go in to my Kubuntu desktop and look at the drive. but it has only a lost and found and grub folder with a few files on the root named config-[version]-server (note this is a SCSI).
When i do a fdisk -l I see 3 sdb 1,2,3 2 and 3 are large but when mounting them I get wrong fs type. I was sure its ext3 ? I just left the default 7.04 fs.
