Hi Guys
I think this is the worst thins that have ever happened to me using ubuntu
I am very desperate here
Here's a description of my problem
I was running 10.04.
Decided to do a full upgrade today
I have 3 monitors (multiheads)
While upgrading, the XandR was missing (read in the terminal), and the upgrade froze for an hour or so. it would not move at all
So I rebooted, and to my horror,now the pc is not longer booting
I have tried to go recovery, and it seems this ain't working too now.
I do not know how to use command prompt.
My problem is exacebated due to the fact my home directory is encrypted and using a live cd, I can't see my files. DOH DOH DOH, I lost the keys.
How to repair 10.04, say a restore, before everything was working. I just want to back up my files in my home directory
I have 4 1.5TB hdd, and pretty sure the other are fine. I am relauctantant to wipe sda, because I do not remember which file I had in them, as I was away for 3 months on a business trip.
All I need to get back my data, then I can do the upgrade.
If I simply start 10.04, after the splash screen disappear, it seems the video drivers are not detected, and the monitors power down (Nvidia GTX 260)
how to use recovery, if there ain't much info. I try repair broken package, the system say could not load some stuff, and it goes in a recurrent mode.
Any advise will be much appreciate. I have about 700GB on sda, so I must have loads data on it, and unsure which ones are backed up.
