What should I try to do? Your help is appreciated >> Holding down the Shift key should give you the grub menu. Hi German, One quick thing you can do is to try the 'Recovery' option in the GRUB menu. Again hit Escape, or hold Shift down. And choose the Recovery menu item. You can drop to a root terminal and update your system again. You can also try to boot normally after this, and see if it hangs up in the boot process. If it does you can take note of when the boot process hangs. One good thing to know about your computer would be some hardware specs. What kind of graphics card do you have is it nvidia for example? What kind of processor, is it 32bit or 64bit? And also what OS are you running? lsb_release -r My first initial guess would be something with the graphics card, but that is just a general guess... It may be something totally different... did you get an update for your graphics drivers? Are you using proprietary drivers or the libre kind? Troubleshooting can be fun, it is like trying to solve a mystery :) -- Regards ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 06:16:42 +0400 From: German <<a href="mailto:gentgerman@gmail.com">gentgerman@gmail.com</a>> To: Israel <<a href="mailto:israeldahl@gmail.com">israeldahl@gmail.com</a>> Cc: <a href="mailto:lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Subject: Re: Can't boot after an update Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:vy2px8y16d909jdfqh8m0o4r.1418350415171@email.android.com">vy2px8y16d909jdfqh8m0o4r.1418350415171@email.android.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Thanks for being with me, Israel. OK, that's what I did... I went to recovery mode - resume-resume normal boot so I can see now the boot sequence. It hangs on 'virtual Ethernet', I have VMware installed. I have athlon 5350 apu, 64-bit, so radeon 3R video chip in it. I am using proprietary catalyst drivers. Latest lubuntu lts 14.04.01. So I guess that is VMware issue and probably it conflicts with catalyst drivers. What would you do next?
