View Full Version : [ubuntu] Problem with updating Ubuntu 10.10

So I installed Ubuntu 10.10 with the official CD from Ubuntu. When I install the system I also checked off the box to download the update and third-party mp3 files, and everything is fine until I restart the system after the installation is done. When the system reboots and I tried to log into my Ubuntu, it always failed to boot.

It doesn't matter if I install the update during or after the installation, the system just won't boot. It only works if I don't update the Ubuntu 10.10, so does that mean the update don't work or what?

Please help!!!! :confused::confused:

What do you mean by it doesn't boot? Are any errors reported? Or it is a black screen? Or what?

Is your Bios set to boot from the proper HDD, the one you install Grub to?

I found this screenshot from another thread http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1633529 but basically that's what I get when I tried to boot my Ubuntu 10.10 after I have done all the updating with the Update Manager.

Ok. We need to know about your hardware details. Specially Processor, RAM and graphics card.

Hardware seems quite up to the mark. The last thing I suspect is some problem with boot. You'll need to boot an Ubuntu Live CD/USB and post the output of bootinfoscript as per instructions here.

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

While posting, click the # icon and paste your text in between the generated code tags.

It might reveal something suspicious that is causing problems.

I can't see any thing offensive there. Grub2 seems pretty in tact. And the busybox error might have something to do with your Intel 4500MHD graphics chip.

I would request some senior members to take a look at your problem. Please hang in there.
