Hi I'm ald0; Can anyone help me with my Ubuntu installation, I get this message "fsck from-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda7: clean, 129398/616512 files, 852648/2465969 blocks" & then everthing stops. Being new to Ubuntu I don't know what to do to sort it out.
Has it done this from the outset or recently started ?
There has been a lot of muttering on the ubuntu forums of late of an update that managed to not complete before triggering a reboot request. I am not quite sure what it broke but I think it was something fairly significant and systems were locking up just after the file system check..just like yours.
Might be worth searching on http://ubuntuforums.org
Chances are you'll need to boot it up from the installation media and complete whatever update failed chrooted into your installation.
