Hi,
I am keeping an old PC (normally unchanged, kind of like a "living back-up/archive instance").
Yesterday I needed that machine. When in the net, I was advised to upgrade from Lubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 since this would be safer / with support of updates.
So I performed the update without any problems. When it came to the last step, of rebooting the machine, the boot progress got stuck, after the intial Lubuntu logo was displayed shortly. The screen simply went black.
I used a live-cd to boot into memory and ran the standard boot-repair for Grub (result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8164889). In the same process, it hinted, that "FlexNet" was detected and I should save my data (it is a back-up anyway) and I can access the data on the disk through a live-cd boot. But I would prefer to have a working system, that I can simply start from the hard-drive.
So after Boot-Repair, the system now displays Grub with the options of Safe-Boot and similar. If I continue the normal boot, I again end up at a black screen, that is prior to any Lubunto log-on prompt for user and password.
I am not sure what to do next. Do you have any hints I can follow? I ran the file-system check (fsck) and it mentioned 0.2% of files that are not together. I am not sure, if that is at all related to my booting topic.
My assumption is, that I miss some driver or similar after the upgrade.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Jochen
