(15:23) < Jordan_U> zcat[1], Unfortunately people say a lot of things on this channel which aren't true: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading "You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS from Ubuntu
7.10 or from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS."
(15:25) < Jordan_U> Janken1, You ask Janken to give up his nick ;)
(15:26) < Jordan_U> almagest, Can you boot into recovery mode?
(15:27) < Janken1> Jordan_U: I see. :-D
(15:27) < Jordan_U> almagest, Can you boot into recovery mode?
(15:27) < almagest> Jordan_U, no tried that, it stops after a while after having loaded some early debian into mem
(15:27) < Jordan_U> almagest, Do you have a LiveCD ( any distribution ) ?
(15:28) < almagest> Jordan_U, in 15 minutes i do. downloading now
(15:28) < Jordan_U> almagest, Ok, do you know how to perform a chroot?
(15:29) < almagest> Jordan_U, not really. familiar with chmod etc, very different?
(15:29) < Jordan_U> Smegzor, sudo update-grub ?
(15:30) < Smegzor> thanks Jordan_U
(15:31) < Jordan_U> almagest, mount your Ubuntu partition to /mnt ( or anywhere you want, it doesn't matter ) then run: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo
chroot /mnt

(15:40) < almagest> Jordan_U: verifying the disc now, will try asap, thanks for helping
(15:40) < Jordan_U> almagest, Once you are chrooted the first thing I would try is : sudo dpkg --configure -a
(15:48) < almagest> Jordan_U: booting the cd now, here is a stupid q. should i choose "try ubuntu without any change.." , and open a terminal when done?
(15:49) < Jordan_U> almagest, Yes
(15:58) < Jordan_U> almagest, Have you setup the chroot yet?
(15:58) < almagest> Jordan_U: just ran the dpkg command. it sets up alot of things now, what exactly did i just do?
(16:00) < Jordan_U> almagest, You is finishing all of the package updates that were interrupted when the upgrade failed
(16:00) < Jordan_U> almagest, *are :)
(16:01) < Jordan_U> almagest, Hopefully when you reboot your system will be completely upgraded
(16:03) < Jordan_U> almagest, I have to get some sleep now, good luck
(16:04) < almagest> Jordan_U: you have no idea how important that would be. thanks for the help!
(16:22) < almagest> can somebody paste what Jordan_U said to me earlier? search for dpkg , sudo mount and sudo chroot (3 lines) - my history was to short..
