Hi all,
A little while back I had taken some updates on my desktop computer on which I have installed Ubuntu Studio 14.04. I haven't used the computer in a couple months mostly out of frustration in researching a cure back then but I've decided to take it on for round two. I don't know if something happened during those updates that caused my issue or not but I ended up getting a message about "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." I looked around online a bit to see that it happens from time to time and that one way to fix the situation is to boot into the Live CD and run a couple of commands from terminal. I've been screwing around with this for hours tonight and the Live CD that I have won't boot up but hangs for some reason when I choose the selection Try Ubuntu Before Installing. Come to think of it, even when I made the Live CD it never worked properly. I ended up having to step from 12.04 on up to 14.04 one release at a time to get her running on my computer. Tonight I've almost exhausted the options as well as my brain trying to get my CD to boot. Is there anything I should try in particular in getting my Live CD to work? I've tried quite a few combinations of the different kernel options and it hangs every time. Is there another way to fix my init= bootarg issue from where I'm sitting now? Thanks for listening.
