Today I upgraded my system (a Sony Vaio TR minilaptop) to 8.10. But when I rebooted, I was unable to start Ubuntu.
The system starts to load, until I get the lines:
...fail!
ALSA is not active, cannot start TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation
After which, everything just hangs, the system does not load.
I tried rebooting in repair mode, and I was able to get a terminal login.
But I have no idea what I might enter in the terminal that could fix this.
So at present my machine is totally unusable,
Please help -- can anyone suggest how to repair this?
thanks
