Public bug reported:
I was updating from 8.10 to 9.04
It said the update failed and supposedly reverted to 8.10, but it looks
like nothing reverted.
firefox crashed on opening and sudo seg faulted so I restarted
and on booting it reported the Xserver would not start,
so now I have only a terminal...
I have included the X log and the dist-upgrade logs
in the attached zip file there is
x.0.log
and from /var/log/dist-upgrade:
main.log.partial
20090922-1713/
main5pm
apt5pm
20090923-0441/
main4am
apt4am
after rebooting failed I went in to the recovery kernel,
and told it to fix broken packages.
This took a few hours but seemed to make no difference.
oh, I just noticed my kernels are still ubuntu 8.10
perhaps someone could tell me how to update them?
the update did not go smoothly,
saying some packages could not be installed,
and when I clicked ok, it said those packages were already installed.
After that happened a few times I stopped keeping track.
so yes, this is an update bug, but it has also rendered my computer useless to
me,
so any help would be appreciated.
