I have Ubuntu 18.10, and the boot has been stuck there for over half an hour.

I’ve had no problems lately but:

  • in the last 2 days I got messages saying that sources could not be updated because there was “no connection” (but I was happily surfing the web)

  • yesterday I also got multiple “internal error” messages Unfortunately I was focused on a specific activity and didn't pay much attention to messages

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

  • Thank you! One correction: it’s 18.10 I’m running. Also in my case the boot is completely blocked. After a while I decided to stop it and try anew: as I hit the power button I saw the boot log resuming, than quickly ubuntu’s loading screen, then it was off. I tried turning it on again and it was the same, except I saw no log at all, just black screen and blinking cursor, until I hit the off button. – chiarac Mar 26 '19 at 21:37

    Can you boot into Recovery Mode and execute the commands suggested in n0rbert's link? – Hee Jin Mar 26 '19 at 21:43
  • I’m afraid apt-daily is not the problem... I can access recovery mode but then fsck can’t run (can’t find etc/default/rcS), dpkg can’t run (“your python installation is broken, repair the symbolic link”) – chiarac Mar 27 '19 at 18:22

  • Hi, too late question but, what was the solution, not being able to boot how did you erase the files? or before that how did you check the file capacity? – Chan Kim May 07 '21 at 00:49
