How to enable RELRO support? Yep, "sudo apt-get install gawk" fixed it for me too. Thanks! |

Ubuntu 12.04 freezes pre-Grub That's great that the LiveCD works.. Ok, so I'm thinking it might be either the initrd.img or a needed kernel parameter. To test for the initrd.img, I would copy one over from the 11.10 installation into the /boot directory and rename it to whatever the current one is (rename the current one with .old or something first to back it up). goo.gl/Fhx9m As for the kernel paramaters, there are a few ways to do it but I would chmod 644 the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and put acpi=off, nomodeset, (try each one, and maybe more) at the end of the Linux kernel line. Prob try kern par changes 1st. |

Ubuntu 12.04 freezes pre-Grub I would try booting to the livecd.. If that works, I would identify the boot partition with sudo fdisk -l , then I would mount it with mount /dev/<boot_part_e.g., sda1> /mnt, then I would run sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda , per help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 |

Upgrading to 12.04 seems to have stopped Then, I would create 3 new partitions (primary,ext4), one for /, one for swap, and one for /home. I would then do a clean install, using the "something else" option for partitions and set the 3 partitions as noted. I would then boot into the new system and copy over whatever I need from the old system partition. After that's done, I would again boot to LiveCD and kill off the old partition, then expand my /home partition to use all the remaining space. In the future, I would install fresh to / partition and mount /home (not formatting). It's a long road, but easier after setup this way. |

Upgrading to 12.04 seems to have stopped There are a number of things that could be working against you here... One being that the Ubuntu repositories are rather during this period of mass upgrade (who knows). This is why it's best to setup your drive with at least 3 partitions, so a clean install can be very easy. You could continue waiting to see if it works out.. but also, if you have an external drive to do some backups to.. I would do that. And then, I would reboot the computer to the LiveCD and I would use the Gparted utility to crunch down my current install to be as small as possible and placed at the end of the drive.. |
