Upgrade to 14.04 won't let me login

**agentfortyseven** · November 18th, 2014

Hey guys,
I've been using ubuntu 12.04 LTS (dual boot with Windows XP using Wubi) for a long time and I tried upgrading to 14.04 LTS today. At the end of the upgrade i received a prompt saying some of the updates could not be installed properly. Upon restarting I am able to select ubuntu 14.04 from the dual boot options menu but that's as far as I can go then I get the following message on my screen:

busybox v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs)

I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me out here.
Thanks.

First, wubi may still work, but is no longer supported.

What desktop were you using in 12o4? Not necessary a reason for busybox, but 14o4 no longer has a unity 2D option. Could be its too much for your computer to handle. Whats your computer specs?

Thanks for the reply. I have a Dell latitude E6400 laptop with core 2 duo processor, 4GB RAM, 160 GB hard disk and NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M Graphics card. I believe my computer specs are fairly good for running Ubuntu 14.04. What do you think?

Sounds like you should be able to run Unity .. don't run it myself, so I'm not the best person to ask.

What about the Unity test? Show anything?

Should be able to run the test in console.
