    You can just highlight the blkid output with the mouse (left click and drag), then cut it (ctrl+shift+c) and paste it (ctrl+v) into a message here, no images needed.

    Re: Upgrade Blocked

    Here is the result of the blkid ask. Next step was to open the root partition and check /etc/fstab. I am not sure exactly how to do that. Through the file manager I find a folder called root, then open in file manager and enter /etc/fstab and get "permission denied" The root directory has a big red X on it, by the way. Opening the properties show "contents unreadable". HELP
    Once again, would there be any future in trying to just download the upgrade again?

    Like this:
    Code:
    less /etc/fstab
    Should produce something like:
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #

    Looks like a typo somewhere, the actual UUID is as blkid reported:6496c978-c968-4bdf-8a40-f3b3f0b0233b The error message has ...fb3f0... missing a 3

    ubfan1, yes it is my typo. the UUIDs are identical. I dropped a 3 when typing the error message.

    Dear Friends,
    So sorry this is taking so long. Here is the response to less /etc/fstab
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #
    # <file system>  <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
    
    # /dev/sda2
    UUID=6496c978-c968-4bdf-8a40-f3b3f0b0233b  /  ext4  noatime,errors=remount-ro  0  1

    What next? Sorry to be so helpless.

    ps, once again, since I can get this machine kind of running in recovery mode, would it be worth trying to download Ubuntu 24.04 again and see if it straightens things out?

    Re: Upgrade Blocked

    CowDoctor; Ouch

    Your /etc/fstab file does not in almost all respects agree with what blkid reports.

    Let's see what we can do to make it right.
    Post back:
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -lu
    swapon --summary
    so we know what the boot partition is and *IF* there is a swap partition.

    maybe, this is all there is to it

    Re: Upgrade Blocked

    Thank you. This, I believe, is the relevant part of the response to the fdisk request:
    Code:
    Disk /dev/sda: 111.8 GiB, 120040980480 bytes, 234455040 sectors
    Disk model: WDC WDS120G2G0B-
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disklabel type: gpt
    Disk identifier: BA5E4D98-D80E-415E-A1C7-9ADE1CE33BBB
    
    Device         Start       End   Sectors   Size Type
    /dev/sda1       2048   1050623   1048576   512M EFI System
    /dev/sda2    1050624 226064383 225013760 107.3G Linux filesystem
    /dev/sda3  226064384 234452991   8388608     4G Linux swap
    There were 38 loops reported, all nearly identical except for some numbers in the first lines. The above code between loops 7 and 8.
    I can copy the whole thing if you wish.
    and here is the swapon:
    Code:
    oe@Bucky:~$ swapon --summary
    Filename                Type        Size        Used    Priority
    /dev/sda3              partition    4194300        0    -2
    Hope this is useful

    Re: Upgrade Blocked

    CowDoctor; Well yeas

    All looks good - and all agrees. (why using code tags is so important, as I did goof in reading)

    OK go back and verify that the UUID 6496c978-c968-4bdf-8a40-fb3f0b0233b is a typo on your part relaying to the post.

    else we got to go hunting.

    it's in the process
