I searched the net and found a site with an article dated back in 2010 that said to fix the error before rebooting or I'd probably not be able to boot to Linux. Which I'm doing right now, I've not yet rebooted. How should I recover from such an error before I reboot. The site had several solutions depending upon other variables, one of which was to delete and/or re-run something. But none of the solutions seemed to fit my case. I'm running the Zorin OS 9 Theme on top of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, an AMD PhenomII 64bit 4 core processor on an ASUS MB. The video card is also an AMD/ATI, hence the need for the fglrx drivers listed above. I'm not sure if the overwriting of the ATI/AMD driver config files shown above are responsible for the error or not. I did nothing that I was aware of that might have caused it, except close another instance of terminal that was runnning, and a libre office writer window. Any ideas on how to solve this before I reboot would be greatly appreciated. TIA |
You shoould still have another kernel to boot from in grub. At grub menu pick Advanced Options & select a previous kernel, then try

Thanks Eddy1,
I see you have a similar setup. ;) I did the update, without rebooting, with the -u switch and it completed flawlessly. I then rebooted and simply had to reset my display options. Quote:

It appears that you have quite a few kernels detected so try running df -h
You have the sme mobo that I have in 1 of my machines how do you like it? |
