Hi to all,
I made an upgrade of a working-till that time-dual boot laptop containing windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04.
During the upgrade I noticed error installing libxml-libxml-perl but any way, after the upgrade I couldn't boot anything so, I decided to repair grub and I managed to fix some things and boot windows.
My reports as I tried to fix grub with live cd following this (2nd option) are: this and this.
My system was still non bootable so, I decided to manually re-install grub following this:
last command fixed boot menu where I can start windows but not Linux!
I decided to fix my suspicious errors during installation so continue typing as a chroot user......
took 20 minutes to download missing confs!!
I insisted on having a grub problem so I decided to remove grub and re-install it following this (Purging & Reinstalling GRUB 2)BUT:
aaaa.... that libxml-libxml-perl problem!!!
Shall we move on?
what about?
or even:
...the same!
The system is down permanently!
Any ideas???????:-(
ps: when I start now my ubuntu I receive this error message:
"could not log bootup: Address already in use. An error occurred while mounting /run"
