Hi

Am currently on Ubuntu desktop 22.x and clicked okay to upgrade to 24.x. Worked well, until I tried to restart the machine.

Am getting this error on boot.

/sbin/init : error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3: cannot open shared object file or directory.

[ 2.771041] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Exitcode=0x0007f00
[2.773687] CPU: 2 PID: 1
[2.773687] Hardware name: HP HP Notenook/81ED, BIOS F.32

[2.8151611] -- [ end Kernel paini - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Exit code

Tried many options like the Boot repair etc. Cannot afford to format since I have important info on the disk. Please help. Thanks
