I installed Natty and my perfectly functioning Ubuntu has stopped working - specifically, it has stopped reading disks. I think the problem has to do with Disk Utility not loading (though Ubuntu can see USB and DVD drives, but not mount them), so I tried it through command prompt and got this: 

sudo palimpsest
libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100)
lee@lee-desktop:~$

I'm not being lazy - I have now spent three days trying different things to fix it, Please Help!

Can you add more information on what else you've tried? – Jorge Castro May 17 '11 at 12:20
have a look at this bug: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/… Problem seems to be related to the order of your partitions. It has some comments and tips on checking your system (fdisk -l). – Rinzwind May 17 '11 at 12:23

the problem is with ubuntu config,which is still not patched by canonical.So to avoid it you may have to degrade to 10.10
