I was trying to get a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse working on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop and have managed to totally mess up my system. I am wondering what my options are.
I was following this guide: Microsoft Designer Mouse (Bluetooth 4.0) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and wasn't having much luck. I uninstalled all the packages I had installed and then tried to revert, but my system crashed (the mouse froze) and I had to restart. The system couldn't shutdown properly and didn't start up properly either (both hung)
These are my issues:
(1) When I start up Ubuntu, it hangs on the loading screen
(2) When I go into recovery mode, and try to manually install bluez via apt-get, then I see the following error:
runlevel:/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
reload: Unknown instance:
invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed.
runlevel: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package bluez (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-16) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
bluez
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I manually created an empty utmp file, but get the same error as above without the utmp lines.
sudo cat /dev/null > /var/run/utmp
(3) When I try enable "Network" from the Recovery menu, it hangs after displaying the error:
ModemManager[14367]: <warn> Couldn't find support for device at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:08:00.0': not supported by any plugin
It looks like the missing plugin is causing the OS to hang when it is loading ...
What are my options at this point?
Any suggestions will be gratefully received....
