My 15.04 will not upgrade successfully either through apt-get or otherwise. The files will download but I receive the following errors. So far I've found no solution. Udev and insserv seem to be the problem areas. Also, the machine is a server and it will not allow connections to it either through Owncloud, SSH, SFTP, or via the web address.

They just mean that the special new tags have not yet been added to the boot scripts. Try removing insserv and try again.

  • I've tried apt-get remove insserv but I get a long list of things that will be removed with the following warnings, so I've never actually removed it out of fear of breaking it. Is it safe?

  • Then I ran sudo apt-get -f install And got the following errors Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-43-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-29-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-17-generic E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    Also ran this and the same error code comes up. sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

  • try an aptitude install instead of apt-get. It will show you the various options which will result in a properly working system. It might remove many packages which you can install later. I know that it is not the proper method but it is an easy work around. The bootscripts will work fine even if insserv is removed – sajinmp Jun 26 '15 at 10:36
  • I did try aptitude. No better luck. Now my system has no kernel in the GNU GRUB so I can't boot to it. I've tried booting from my Ubuntu live disks but every one from v. 10 on through 14 crashes or locks up the screen. I've tried Knoppix and Hirens rescue disks with no luck. I'm trying Super Grub 2 rescue disk next. – Darris J. Brock Jun 26 '15 at 15:25
  • The kernel might have been removed when you tried aptitude or apt-get forced. You can just boot any live distro to solve it. Try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels – sajinmp Jun 26 '15 at 17:06
  • These lines say that there is no such directory. sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys – Darris J. Brock Jun 27 '15 at 07:07
  • Try creating the directory and then bind them – sajinmp Jun 27 '15 at 08:22
  • "chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': No such file or directory"

    I have run which chroot and got /usr/sbin/chroot Advice?

     – Darris J. Brock Jun 27 '15 at 18:57
  • Oh boy, I think I am at a loss for advices. Sorry. Let me see if I can find something. – sajinmp Jun 27 '15 at 19:05
  • This page has worked for the install down to SETTING UP. But I still get the error message when I try to run chroot /mnt https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot

    I did change the version to Vivid and use a different URL. But which chroot still returns my original chroot location. How do I tell it to look elsewhere for the chroot directory?

     – Darris J. Brock Jun 27 '15 at 19:45
  • I renamed /usr/sbin/chroot to xchroot then installed to /usr/sbin/chroot

    then I get "sudo: chroot: command not found. So I try to run "which chroot" and it gives me nothing but a return to the prompt.

  • Thanks for all the help. Nothing worked. Reinstalling from scratch. – Darris J. Brock Jun 28 '15 at 02:28
  • I am really sorry I couldn't be of help and actually caused trouble. – sajinmp Jun 28 '15 at 15:34
