Corrupt files partman endless loop 1.3 gb left on disk

What is the output of:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks

What do you want to say with "partman endless loop" ?
partman is a program to create and modify partitions during installation of a new Ubuntu system. Are you sure that this program is running when you try booting your system?

What is the difference between this question and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/268213 ?

Please provide the following details:
Do you have Ubuntu already installed on your computer? If yes, which release? Is it the only operating system on you hard disk(s)?

What do you want to do, which steps do you execute, what do you expect that should happen, and what happens instead?

In case that there are error messages shown, please provide the full text.

your right there is a continuing loop that uses up the disk space i
get so excited that i miss the proper discreption

What is in a continuing loop?

Please answer also my other questions. We are not able to help without more information.

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1360:8c01::19 80]

ok, this is an error message that probably is easy to repair.

Apparently you were successfully able to boot into your Ubuntu system.
Now please open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing the ctrl-alt-t keys)
and issue the following commands in that terminal

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
df -h

Then use the terminal window's menu entries "edit - select all" and "edit - copy" and paste all output into this question document that we can check.

Maverick is EOL and no longer supported in any way. I suggest you wipe Maverick off and do a clean install of Trusty. Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019.

You can restore your user data from your backups

cant access or cant find back ups

Your install is no longer supported. Please install a supported release

When I wrote that the error probably is easy to repair, I was wrong. At that moment I did not realize that your system is running an obsolete version of Ubuntu.

Just to make sure that we do not misinterpret your output:
Was the output from the Ubuntu version that is installed on your computer's hard disk, or did you produce that output when booting from a CD/DVD?

What is the output of the commands

sudo fdisk -l
sudo lshw -class disk
sudo lshw -class memory

my computers hard disk also thank you for your help no matter how this turns out j. burk

Why do you write "12.04" in your original question if you have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on your hard disk?

Please provide the output of the commands asked in my previous comment

I had 12.04 runing when this started{ loop problem} boot would fail, message insert disc press enter .could not enter default s on boot up got nothing found a old rebooi disk 10.04 only thing to get on line still on out dated

Do you have files on the hard disk that you want to save?

I suggest that you download an installation kit of a current Ubuntu version (probably best is 14.04 LTS), and do a complete new installation.

And this is the third request to provide the output of the terminal commands

sudo fdisk -l
sudo lshw -class disk
sudo lshw -class memory

uses up disk space think its malware

Just spotted another inconsistency:

You write about a 10.04 installation disk, but your system says Ubuntu 10.10.
This does not fit together.

Who and/or what do you think uses up disk space?

Is my interpretation correct:
You have an Ubuntu installation (version is not yet fully clear to me) in your computer's hard disk
Over the course of time the free space on the hard disk gets less, up to the status that the system was no more bootable

If that is the case, please confirm, if that is not the case, please describe as clear as possible what there is happening, or what problem you have with your system.

If you want to get help, you have to provide the information that we are asking for.
