I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04. Everything looked fine until I rebooted.
I have a Windows 7 x64 computer. I installed Ubuntu using WUBI and last fall upgraded to version 13.10. After the upgrade to 14.04, I tried to boot to Ubuntu. This resulted in errors. After hours of attempts to fix the problem, I deleted Ubuntu from Windows, and reinstalled Ubuntu. I created a Ubuntu disk. I copied the WUBI file from the DVD to my hard drive. I successfully installed version 14.04. This resulted in the same boot problems.
When I boot, I get the message "Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /. Press I to ignore, S to skip and M for manual recovery." Pressing Skip, I get the error "Root filesystem check failed. /tmp not ready or found." After reinstalling Ubuntu, the boot allowed me to select recovery mode. I believe a new GRUB has been installed.
From recovery mode, I ran System Information to see my disk drive names. I ran FSCK to check for file system problems. It said it would remount RW. FSCK.ext4: operation not permitted while trying to open /dev/loop0. You must hafve R/W access to the file system or be root mountable: FSCK/ [646] terminated with status 8. Mountall: Unrecoverable FSCK error: Mountall. Skipping mounting since Plymouth is not available. I tried options FailsafeX, Enable Networks (it said Modemanager was S/D). I tried CTRL-C. Somehow, I ended up with the root@ubuntu prompt. I tried FSK again, and it said everything was clean. I tried "mount -o remount/rw /" and it said rootr.disk was write protected.
Thee seems to be a problem with the latest upgrade. Perhaps it does not like to see UBUNTU intalled as a file in Windows. I could try to partition the disk and install UBUNTU there. Any other ideas? I found the WUBI installation in the past to be the best option and error free.
