Public bug reported: 1) Hardy 8.04.2 2)"W: Unable to locate package packagename"
First off this isn't an install of hardy, I'm using the "try ubuntu without any change to your computer" to show my parents the OS to try and convert them from XP since they've been having problems with the OS. I was trying to back up some doc files to save onto Ubuntu, had they liked it, but only had access to my dad's account, my mom was gone so I ran another distro of linux which had ophcrack on it to recover my mother's password. The program failed to find tables which is odd since I've used the disk before and checked it on another computer afterwards, so I decided to mount the hard drive to get password hashes. At this point my father called my mother and got the password.. so the passwords are recovered, but, when I was trying to reboot the computer to XP the linux distro wouldn't quit, so I did a hard shutdown (held the power button). That was a bad idea. NFTS is still mounted to the other linux distro and I can't seem to unmount, so, windows won't boot and gives me that dreaded blue screen saying something about unclean shutdown blah blah.. The windows XP disk has vanished so the recovery consul isn't an option right now, and it won't boot to safe mode. I'm now back on the "try ubuntu" for trouble shooting; this is the error I get when I try to mount the hard drive: " Cannot mount volume. Details: $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) Failed to mount ' dev/sda2': operationnot supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use." then it goes on to explain options, of which the only one that applies is: "type mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sda2/media/disk -o force" which I tried. Any ideas how to force an unmount? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ntfs fails to unmount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
