Unfortunately I'm not a developer either and this exceed my level of competence too. I wish there was someone more knowledgeable and experienced to help you.
I have thought of something, although I'm not sure it will work. I was looking at the dpkg errors you posted in comment #13 and noticed the first part: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-generic: linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic; however: Package linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing linux-image-generic (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-generic: linux-generic depends on linux-image-generic (= 2.6.38.9.23); however: Package linux-image-generic is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing linux-generic (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured What happens if you do this singly in reverse? - start with dpkg -configure linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic then linux-image-generic then linux-generic ? The package descriptions in Synaptic also imply that this might work, but I can't be sure. The kernel in natty-proposed is currently being held up by a couple of regressions, but it or one of it's successors will eventually be available via -updates. IIRC, you will then be able to get and install updates during system installation. If not, this fix should be in Ubuntu 11.04.1, although I cannot find it's scheduled release date ATM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/761723 Title: Computer unbootable after Natty install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
