I was running a somewhat standard install of Ubuntu 9.10, when my drive got pushed into read-only mode, so I switched to tty1
, ran /etc/init.d/gdm stop
, and then ran fsck -y /
. It took an hour or too, but eventually finished. However, now that partition is unbootable, and upon attempting to boot into Ubuntu, it complains about libsepol.so.1
as missing and starts a recovery shell. In this recovery shell, only certain tools work. ls
complains about libacl.so.1
, and the filesystem is still read-only. When I try mount -rw /dev/sda1
, it complains about libsepol.so.1
again. I can however still run fsck. I tried running it with fsck -p -f /
, and it completes, much quicker, but the system remains unbootable. I could probably boot into the Ubuntu live-cd to get read-write access, but I wouldn't know what to do. Any suggestions?
I read an interesting suggestion here, but I don't know how I would go about reinstalling the base Ubuntu packages without write access to the hd, or through the live cd.
I'm accepting this, but I just decided to reinstall, backing up all that I can. – bgw – 2010-02-14T02:00:33.230
