ubuntu desktop installed on second hard drive with win xp on first.
Still trying to figure out where grub is sitting.
This is digging a hole stuff.
Various packages failed either to install or uninstall. Something is really
ragging processor usage.
Led to believe tis script might be a solution.
purge old and reinstall new to sda
sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup
sudo mkdir /boot/grub
sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
sudo update-grub
At which point (sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common) got stuck up the
barrel.
Where it has been for a week now sitting on any chance of an up date.
despiration time suggested a clean up might shake the road block.
sudo killall synaptic
sudo killall aptitude
sudo killall mintinstall
sudo killall software-center
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* |
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l |grep ^rc |awk '{print $2}' | tr '\012' ' ')
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
things not looking too good just now so I may end up doing a clean re-
intall.
