boot in lucid lynx

Log a bug with 2.6.32.22 and use 21 for now, you could even try reinstalling the 22 kernel to see if it resolves the issue.

What is the procedure to reinstall the Kernel 22?

It can be seen from other posts that booting with Kernel 22 is faulty. You can either have a distorded screen, either....nothing at all....a black screen with nothing happening. see also post: 110579 ubuntu boot failure after upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04

Fortunately it is possible to boot with 21 after some message related to "mount" (no such device....) I cannot read more (it is masked up...) and another message with chroot: etc/apparmor/initransf no such file

The advice for post 110579 to make a clean install do not seem really sound if this is a bug of kernel 22

Thanks to all

can you give the output of:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image

Thanks

This is it, but the diagnosis is in french!

Jesus christ thats the most kernel's I ever saw. Each of those is 120Mb EACH. We can free you up a LOT of space here.

sudo apt-get linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic

will reinstall the 22 kernel and hopefully make it nice. This will clean up your kernel mess:

df -h > ~/Desktop/before.txt; sudo dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic linux-image-2.6.31-17-generic linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic; sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-24-generic linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; df -h > ~/Desktop/after.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/after.txt &; gedit ~/Desktop/before &

You now ONLY have linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic and linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic

Hopefully the -22 reinstall will make it boot nice, but you can always use the -21 kernel until there is a new kernel release which will hopefully be nice

The command also gives a before and after free space before and after :D. You can delete the files on the desktop if you wish after reviewing.

Thanks a lot......I should say that having all these kernels.....was also a surprise to me....probably because I always did upgrades rather than clean install.

I am grateful to you for giving me all these syntax informations...It's the best way to learn....Collaborative knowledge is really a great invention of mankind.

I will try that tonigh....before....clicking "solved my problem"....but i will do it with a lot of confidence!

Ubuntu Spirit be with you!

Piero

Thanks for the two command lines...but for the moment they are not accepted by the system...

I will try to see if i can trace some syntax problems.

Piero

Can you give the output of:

uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

Thanks
