Howdy,
I am trying to get linux up and running for me for the very first time, but having problems. I am using an Asus K52JR laptop running windows 7 64bit, and I created a USB stick bootable with Linux live. My disk is partitioned, so booting with the USB I installed Ubuntu 13.10 to my empty partition.
Well, It almost installed. Went through all the step until I got to the part where I get the progress bar where you see all the files installing. And once the progress bar completed my computer went to a black screen with a few lines of writing in the top left corner and then the computer shut itself off!
So I restarted and I was taking to Grub where I have the option to boot into Ubuntu or Windows only with some other options. So I chose Ubuntu, and it takes me to a black screen with a flashing cursor. I can type stuff in, but that is all. I have to hit ctrl-alt-delete to exit from there and my computer reboots back into Grub.
So with some searching on the issue I entered into recovery mode typed in
Code:
sudo apt-get update
The output was this:
Code:
sudo: unable to resolve host (none)
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamandor - Release amd 64 (20131016.1) saucy InRelease

W: Not using locking for read only file /var/lib/opt/lists/lock
E: Couldn't create temporary file work with /var/lib/apt/lists/Ubuntu%2013.10%20%5fSaucy%20Salamander%5f%20-%20Release%20amd64%20(20131016.1)_dists_saucy_Release - mkstemp (30 : Read - only file system)
W: Not using locking for read only lock file ``/var/lib/dpkg/lock``
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem
With a little more search I went into root via advance options and typed in:
Code:
mount -o rw-remount /
Nothing appeared to happen, so I typed
Code:
mount --all
after that, and nothing appeared to happen.
I rebooted and typed
Code:
mount -o rw-remount /
again and this time I got this output:
Code:
mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or / busy
mount: according to mtab /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /
I am a total newbie to this and I don't know where to go from here. If i try to boot into Ubuntu I still get the black screen and the flashing cursor.
Really hoping someone can help me out!!!
