i just did a dist-upgrade on karmic and i have the problem. The solution above does not work.
I found out that if you use through group the init=/bin/bash and change the ro option to rw you can have some short of a console to work with the filesystem. When i tried to upgrade i had the error that initscripts have been kept back and if i would try to force install then i have to lose all xorg packages! -- Karmic Koala stopps dead after /scripts/init-bottom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398214 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
