Hi, I hope I am putting this in the right place. I'm new to this forum & new to having issues with Ubuntu. My warranty expired 2 months ago and now I'm stuck.

This morning my update manager came up so I clicked to update. About halfway through the update an error message popped up & said to restart my system. I restarted my system and now have a black screen with the following message:

mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_a

dd_match_subsystem_devtype

init: mountall main process (344) terminated with status 127

I read around earlier & tried to use a Ubuntu disk and reboot but I have the same error.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron computer, it's just over a year old.
I keep up with all the updates but unfortunately cannot say for sure which updates were taking place because I just hit the update box.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

After these messages, do you get the command prompt?
