I was installing git on Ubuntu.

When I installing git, I got below error in there. (I got the similar kind error when I do the uprade also.)

start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Then I tried to fix this as mentioned on this post by JamiePhonic.

There I did the below steps and I got the git issue fixed.

Step 1: sudo dpkg -l | grep upstart This returns the installed information.

Step 2 : sudo apt-get remove --purge upstart This returns the installed information. So, I didn't installed the fgetty using below commanf. sudo apt-get install fgetty

Step 3 : sudo apt-get remove --purge upstart
Since Step 1 returns the installation information (t means that upstart or some part of it is installed in some form), I tried to remove it using this command

Step 4 : I removed runit using the below command
sudo apt-get remove --purge runit

Step 5 : Then I run a clean as mentioned below
sudo apt-get clean

After this, I re-installed the git and everything went fine.

But after I restart the NoteBook, I got below error while it is booting up.enter image description here

When I check the log further, I noted that there are some errors loading some UI artifacts (eg :fonts etc). enter image description here

Can anyone give an idea on fixing this without reistalling Ubuntu.

Hi I was able to solve this re-installing ubuntu desktop as mentioned in this post.

It says :

"When the message that "your system is running in low-graphics mode" appears, press Ctrl+Alt+F1, then login with your credentials.

And then, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo reboot"
