I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
I ran in terminal sudo apt-get update
. Then I rebooted the system. And now I see:
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to a shell
initramfs:_
I can't boot up LIVE Ubuntu from USB flash drive. Yes, I double checked BIOS setup and the USB flash drive is OK and runs on another machine. Right now I am going to buy a DVD and burn a Live DVD from another laptop.
sudo blkid
gives me:
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/sda1: UUID="xxxx" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sr0: LABEL="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS i386" TYPE="iso960"
/etc/fstab
has the same UUID="xxxx"
and there is a line with:
errors=remount-ro 0
I tried using boot-repair but I still can't log in to Ubuntu.
I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu, because I have a lot of data there.
Do you have any advice how this can be solved?
sudo blkid
from the terminal (from a live DVD if needed) and check the UUID's against what/etc/fstab
has. Or post both results into your question please. How to runsudo blkid
from a live DVD: Boot from Ubuntu live disk, click on Try Ubuntu option on startup. Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and then runsudo blkid
command in it. Finally, post its output in your question.sudo blkid
gives me/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/sda1: UUID="xxxx" TYPE="ext4" dev/sr0: LABEL="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS i386" TYPE="iso960"
/etc/fstab have the same UUID="xxxx" and there is line where is written errors=remount-ro 0 –
