I followed the steps on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/OMGBroken up to the part where I booted into Ubuntu and got into an emergency bash shell.
I'm not sure if i need to start any services with 'start xyz'. I'm not that experienced with Linux yet. I tried just running 'exec /sbin/upstart' but I was returned with 'command not found'. I ran 'ls /sbin' and found that there is no file named upstart, but there is upstart-dev-bridge. I tried 'exec /sbin /upstart-dev-bridge' and got a connection refused error again. So then I tried just running the command 'mountall --debug' and got the same error: ----- # mountall --debug mountall: Could not connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused ----- I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I tried editing my /etc/fstab because I got errors about not having an ending newline, so I tried to 'echo "\n" >> /etc/fstab' and I was returned with an error that said my filesystem was read-only. Could this be the reason I cannot boot?
