** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex for AMD+64 Kernel: 2.6.27-9-generic Hi! First of all: 1. English is not my mother tongue but I studied it when I was a child so I still remember a few words to express myself. 2. Linux is not my mother OS and I never studied it or worked with it before so I have no idea about settings and so. Ok, let's go for it. I guess the error happened when upgrading from Hardy Heron to Intrepid Ibex by writing on the bash "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" as seen on http://doc.ubuntu-es.org/Intrepid_Ibex/Actualizar In a certain moment (I do not remember when exactly) I was asked to go on with the procedure (Y) or abort (N) or ask for details (D), I asked for Details and the system hung completely. Well... is that on the front of my PC a pretty button? Let's press it and see what happens... - WTF? I couldn't go further than Grub! I was entering several times in - kernel recovering mode but the process froze once and once again. - Suddenly the login screen appeared so I entered with my user and - password. + What is happening? I couldn't go further than Grub! I was entering + several times in kernel recovering mode but the process froze once and + once again. Suddenly the login screen appeared so I entered with my user + and password. - Holy shit! My desktop was completely black. When I started to move the mouse desperately I discover two things: + Holy mother of pearl! My desktop was completely black. When I started to move the mouse desperately I discover two things: 1. There were still more than one work area on the Desktop, because by moving the scroll wheel I could see the animation of the change of work areas. From black screen to black screen. Big deal! :-( 2. On the right-down corner a message appeared in a box. You can see an screenshot (yes, it worked!) here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3295/3135964919_8db9e542de_o.png After restarting with the bash for a couple of hundred times, I finally could recover the kernel so I'm writing this note on Ubuntu. Everything seems to be right again. So I hope...
