I was doing upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, It showed some error. Then I restarted the system. Now it's not booting. It's showing the following error when it starts and reboot by itself.

sed: /lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6:version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1)

please please reply back with some solutions. I am kind of stuck not able to use the system. I need it so badly.

You can try the answer that Andrew gave here : https://askubuntu.com/a/126282/56942. You will need the live cd or live usb.

  • Hey I tried but still I am getting the same error almost. but with different required directory sudo: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//libpam.so.0 Please help with this issue if you can.. I am kind of stuck... I am kind of naive to ubuntu. – Vipul Gupta Apr 27 '12 at 21:31
  • if you type in a terminal uname -a can you paste the output? I think you have the wrong version maybe have a 32 bit version and trying to install the 64 bit – Brett Apr 27 '12 at 22:15
  • I am installing the right version. I have 64-bit and I am installing 64-bit only. – Vipul Gupta Apr 27 '12 at 22:48
