No boot after upgrade from 10.04LTS 64bit to 10.10 64bit
I had Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bits on ACER ASPIRE desktop with ATI Radeon 2600PRO, only 1 HD and just ubuntu installed on it, one partition + swap, running fine and updating normally via update manager. I tried to update to 10.10 64bits using update manager, it all seemed to go well until it stopped responding at all and after several minutes had to go with a hard reboot using the power button. The computer does not boot into ubuntu since then, it starts with a screen full of colored vertical stripes and a big square for the mouse pointer that responds to mouse movement but stops there.
I did try to save my files using the live CD to transfer them to a pen drive but several of them are not accessible due to user restrictions. It is interesting than other files are accessible, have no idea why.
Is there any way to repair it or at least bypass user restrictions to save all my files ?
Thanks,
Ed
