    12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    HELP! How do I finish upgrading without a GUI!

    I just upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, still trying to finish the upgrade

    currently it's stuck (both recovery console and normal boot), below is some of what appears on screen:
    Code:
    ...
    [   1.848019] List of all partitions:
    [   1.848110] No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3  ext4 fuseblk
    [   1.848402] Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkno
    wn-block(0,0)
    [   1.848503] Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0Not tainted 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu
    ...
    [   1.849460] [(c157e37e)] kernal_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
    I have a blinking cursor below this last line and I also have a blinking caps lock

    HELP!

    How do I keep my programs and data intact and finish the upgrade? In Windows world there is an in-place upgrade option with the installation cd, is there a similar option for Ubuntu? How do I go about keeping or reinstalling my programs and backing up my data?

    down load and burn a lubuntu live cd. see if it will boot to live system if it will then you should be able to see your Ubuntu partitions from there and copy /back up any important data.

    Then do a fresh install.

    My personal opinion is that you should partition your drive so you have a /home partition separate from your / partition that way if things go bad you won't have lost your personal data.

    Re: 12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    A little background:

    Still trying to finish the upgrade, (and none of the last 4 upgrades on this particular computer have gone very smoothly), leaving me with broken packages or corrupted files or firefox/opera/chrome crashing repeatedly. Frustrating to say the least. I tried to do install one time with a / and a /home partition and it rendered the entire /home unusable, had to chmod 777 the entire directory to get it to work, and decided to start from scratch and format and reinstall with just a /, no /home. I've run Memtest and it comes back fine. Hard drive test comes back fine.

    I had 11.10, and was in the process of upgrading to 12.04 last night. I clicked on the option to upgrade from upgrade manager, it went through it's paces, appeared to be downloading, then appeared to be installing, asked me several times over half an hour some questions as to whether I wanted to keep the maintainers version on various packages, clicked on the maintainers or default settings for those and then I went in the other room after it appeared to stop asking questions after half an hour or so.

    Came back about an hour later, only to find a black screen on the monitor, no response from the keyboard, ctrl+alt+1-2-4...0 did nothing, came back an hour later, same situation, nothing on screen so I held power for 4 seconds and restarted (before I shut down, checked my dd-wrt router and didn't see the pc in the list of live computers on the network, nor was it pingable).

    When Ubuntu booted back up, 11.10 was still the menu choice not 12.04, and grub is still saying v1.5? is that correct? It gets to the login prompt, enter in my password, then shows the mouse cursor and the background changes, then flashes back to the login screen, not long enough for me to do anything.

    I dropped down to ctrl+alt+6 and installed LXDE, logged in, and got to a functioning LXDE gui only for couple seconds then get all bunch of errors and becomes unusable. Have to drop down to ctrl+alt+6 and shutdown from command line as I can't get back to the login prompt.

    I now boot into recovery console, tried to install Unity, got some errors, installed the dependencies it was complaining about, I now have Unity as one of the gui's to login to, but it's broke and only shows mouse then goes back to the login prompt. Unity 2d is same.

    I then booted into recovery console again, tried

    Code:
    sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
    and got a response, one of the few commands to have any effect.
    Since then, the grub menu lists it as 12.04 now, but grub is still 1.5. Should't grub say it's version 2?

    also, same problems with the gui, leaving me with some borked frankenstine 11.10/12.04 that doesn't work with any gui, ugh.

    currently it's stuck with a blinking cursor below this last line of code I had posted above
    Code:
    [   1.849460] [(c157e37e)] kernal_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
    , and I also have a blinking caps lock

    I'm guessing the only next step is too backup programs and home folder some how and do a clean install, or using a live cd somehow to do an in-place upgrade and force 12.04 to finally install? How do I proceed? I've tried the separate /home approach once before, but like I said I didn't have good results.

    Re: 12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    Ok here's what I would do there are several ways around it.

    first get the live cd and try to save the files you want saved.

    Then in the live cd got to terminal and type :

    Code:
    fdisk -l
    (That's a lower case L not # 1)

    list the what you get here so I can see how your partitions are set up now.

    I would do a completely fresh install have had way too many problems with upgrades over the years.

    (Note: I know many say they have no problems with upgrades, but that's not been my experence.)

    I'm going to be away awhile today so may not be able to get back quickly.

    from a live cd:

    Code:
    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l

    /dev/sda6           13179       16913    30001356   83  Linux
    I should add, that the physical layout of the partitions on the disk is a little different than the logical layout given by fdisk, graphically Disk Utility shows my 200GB WD Sata drive thussly:
    Code:
    [Primary/Bootable            ][Extended=sda2                                                       ]
     {NTFS/Windows XP/100GB=sda1}  {Swap/1GB=sda5}{EXT4/Ubuntu/30GB=sda6}{NTFS/Scratch Space/60GB=sda3}
    I believe the partitions are numbered in the order of creation, don't know what happened to sda4

    I also ran bootinfoscript.
    Code:
    sudo bash '/home/ubuntu/Downloads/bootinfoscript'

    Re: 12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    I'm not a bit surprised.

    I have yet to upgrade to a major Ubuntu release without SOMETHING HORRIBLE happening.

    Upgrading to 12.04 now makes my BRAND STINKING NEW LEXMARK PRINTER COMPLETELY USELESS. Other comments I've seen on the forums want to blame LEXMARK because the new and improved 12.04 no longer permits the Lexmark drivers to work.

    Does anyone care that NOBODY on the Ubuntu side even bothered to check to see if the new and improved version of Ubuntu worked with existing printer drivers?

    I started out thinking Ubuntu was the greatest thing since buttered popcorn. But, as I said, I've not had a major upgrade yet where "they" didn't screw up something that I loved or needed.

    Yes it's great that it's "free" but that freeness comes at quite a cost to the users.

    I'm going to start looking for an OS I can rely on NOT to make my life miserable even if I have to pay for it.

    And you reported your problem on launchpad?

    Ok at this point I would recommend that you try Boot repair you can find it here.
    use the CD method and see if that will work for you it seems that Legacy grub was never replaced and you really should have grub 2 with 12.04.

    Re: 12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    there must be a problem with one of the kernals, just booted into SuperGrub2 disk, searched for OS's, it listed an older kernal 2.6.38-13-generic i686, chose that one and it booted into a gui with login prompt, with a giant list of graphical environments to choose from, Gnome, Gnome Classic, Gnome Classic (No Effects), Gnome/Openbox, LXDE, Openbox, Recovery Console, Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2d and User Defined (don't know what that one does). The drivers for my aging Nvidia geforce 6600gt aren't installed since it's obviously a little pokey.

    chose gnome, logged in, currently getting plenty of error messages flashing upon the screen, all saying

    "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error.
    If you notice further problems, try restarting the computer."

    I must have clicked through all of them, don't see anymore at the moment, must've been 30-50 off em.

    I opened synaptic package manager, it complained with an error message almost after entering my credentials to open it, saying I needed to run:
    Code:
    dpkg --configure -a
    which I did after synaptic abruptly closed

    currently running dpkg in terminal, so far it's updating files.

    also, "sudo grub-install -v" says grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) I thought I updated that using boot-repair!

    I'm going to have to update grub to grub 2 and update monster load of files for this upgrade to be complete :-/

    Re: 12.04 upgrade didn't work, now left with blinking cursor and blinking caps lock

    THANKS kc1di!!

    so far I've been able to boot into a gui and login to Ubuntu 12.04 by using Rescatux cd and booting into Supergrub2, choosing a list of operating systems, and picking the 3.2 kernal or 2.8 kernal (3.0 kernals don't work, get blinking cursor) I am able to boot into 12.04, not stable though, packages close on me, web browsers are all unstable (firefox, opera, chrome, midori, luakit, epiphany, arora) all seem to close at some point after using, and sometimes the unity shuts down and goes back to a login prompt, but I was able to update grub 1 to grub 2 using:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install grub-pc
    and following the on screen prompts it unstalled grub 1 for me and installed grub 2

    and to remove grub 1 if that didn't work
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove grub

    And a big thanks to kc1di for pointing me in the right direction, to get back to a bootable system I needed to change what kernal loaded!
