Hallo Everybody,

I have been trying to solve this problem since yesterday but now I have reached a point I dont see any chance helping myself. Maybe some kind Trisquel-User can give me an advice so I get rid of that problem.
After updating Trisquel5.5 and installing some minor applications I havent been able to boot Trisquel properly. The Trisquel character with the 4 dots underneath is the last screen which is shown before the monitor shows nothing than black. Moreover I cant get access to the console. Its totally frustrating.

Is there any chance to get the system fixed?

Thanks a lot,
Lutz

Here is my last boot.log file:

First thing I would do is boot into the system using Live CD mode, and grab all my data (copy everything onto a USB device).

Then I would do a complete re-install from scratch, although someone else here might have a better solution.

Are you able to boot into another runlevel? I would try this before installing everything from scratch.
Then you just do something like
apt-get install -f
or a new update and perhaps this will do the job.

Your logfiles contain german words, so
Viel Glück! :)

Thanks for your suggestion, BinaryDigit. If I cant find a way to get rid of that problem I will follow your advice...

@quantumgravity:
What do you mean by "another runlevel"? I tried to get into the terminal but this didnt work. Obviously the booting stops to soon that I can start a terminal.
Is it possible than I delete or comment the commandline out which is responsible for "Checking for running unattended-upgrades"? (in live-modus) Unfortunatly I dont know where... :(

best regards,
Lutz

When you're booting the computer, the grub menu appears.
Press e and you can modify the boot options.
It's a line with all kind of parameters, including one single number (I think at the end of the line).
Replace this number by 1 or 3. I'm not quite sure which number is right, because many distros handle this in a different way.
I don't even know if this works with Ubuntu (and because of this, with trisquel), but it's worth a try.

Trisquel uses a random grub password by default (at least in 5.5) so it won't be that straight forward...

Not sure if it works that way also.

Couldn't you boot from a Trisquel LiveCD (same architecture) and chroot into your installed system? It would go this way:

$ sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt/trisquel # this is root
$ # mount other partitions under /mnt/trisquel if you have separate /usr, /var... /home isn't required]
$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/trisquel/dev
$ sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/trisquel/proc
$ sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/trisquel/sys
$ sudo chroot /mnt/trisquel
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -f install
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ exit
$ sync
$ sudo umount /mnt/trisquel/... # unmount what you mounted 

Remember Trisquel 5.5 is not supported anymore.
