failed upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 missing system files from forced fsck
after a Ubuntu 8.04 upgrade from 7.10 a forced fsck was done at reboot... since then files/blocks were fixed however some system files have been lost...
Unable to load GDM and libstdc++.so.6 is missing... ...for starters... What do I do next to fix this... I'm new at this... so please walk me through this Thanks ~Brad bradb-acc@hotmail.com |
Hi and welcome to LQ.
Try running the upgrade again e.g. Code:
sudo aptitude update Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm |
There are countless threads detailing problems with "upgrading" to 8.04 all over the interweb.
I hope reddazz's advice sorts the problem for you, if not, the general advice seems to be "Save your personal files & do a clean install of 8.04". I am playing with a clean install of 8.04, but it is nowhere as stable (Amarok sometimes dies and generates a bug-report email, GoogleEarth crashes KDE, and logs me out .. the list goes on, and I am not using compiz-fusion) as 6.06, which I am keeping on my "must be functioning" computers. |
Thanks for finally responding...
I had to copy sda1 /home and .mozilla profiles etc to a back up folder on sdb1
re partitioned /dev/sda and installed 8.04 worked great lost all other data files but where saved on media_disk-1 BAK updated and rebooted no problems... then i added adobe flash player worked awhile on the internet... my router paused and failed to reconnect so I rebooted and wham!! GRUB loading, please wait... Error 25 yep.... disk read error Here's some info... ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000d263 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 373 2996091 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 * 523 3785 26210047+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 3786 19457 125885340 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000d263 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 19081 153268101 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 19082 19457 3020220 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 19082 19457 3020188+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ What's my next move.... ~Brad |
