Hi Tod,<br>Bad news hunting<br><br>Mi computer is a clone ADM Athlon 1000 with 512 RAM. I installed Ubuntu 5.1. First I updated the Applications -Music & Movies- following instructions of <a href="http://hel.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> help.ubuntu.com</a> -index you send me by mail-. Then I try ed to install Java, but I'm not sure if it was successful. Then, I updated almost seventy something new updates, that Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to install, I never realized what were those, I just tough that it was good to update them if it was proposed. <br><br>I wasn't very patient so I restarted again. Sorry, after some days working perfectly a new boot problem apeared. I had reinstalled all those, but also amule & lyx.<br><br>Now, it surpass the last blockage but stops here: <br><br>...fail! system log daemon... d: command not found not found<br>*Starting kernel log daemon <br>/etc/rc2.d/sllklog d: line 60: mkfifo: command not found <br>... done<br><br>I have tryed CONTROL+C but nothing new. <br><br>Thank you for youre help!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/15/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tod Merley</b> <<a href="mailto:todbot88@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> todbot88@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style="direction: ltr;"><div>Hi Juan Carlos Reyes!</div> <div> </div> <div>It might be nice to know what kind of computer you are useing, version of Ubuntu, why and how you updated. This could give us a better base to help you.</div> <div> </div> <div>For now I would recommend the Ubuntu start guide:</div> <div> </div> <div><a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Specifically the sections within Rescue Mode.</div> <div> </div> <div>Also google "mounting root file system ubuntu" just for fun.</div> <div> </div> <div>Sometimes doing a "control c" (holding down the Ctrl key and tapping the c key) will bypass the hung part of the script. Sometimes it is good to allow ten minutes for the thing to actually cycle trough on it's own. </div> <div> </div> <div>Good Hunting!</div> <div> </div> <div>Tod<br><br> </div> <div></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/14/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Juan Carlos Reyes</b> <<a href="mailto:jcreyesortiz@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> jcreyesortiz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span> </span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"></blockquote></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span> I'm new to Ubuntu. I install it recently without presenting any problems. Yesterday I updated all software software it ask me as I configures (installed) multimedia , Internet and some other software. I also tried to installed Java but I never knew if it was successful. Ubuntu worked perfectly till the end, this morning I turned on and it gets stucked when initializing in: Mounting root file system and don't move from there. <br>The easiest think to me would be to reinstall but I spend several hours yesterday that prefer not to lose, while a make may best to learn how Ubuntu works.<br><br>Thanks<br clear="all"><span><br>-- <br>Juan C.
