I have Ubuntu16.04 LTS installed on my system. I upgraded MySQL from 5.5 to 5.6 by following this online documentation. The upgrade process seemed to be successful. But when I tried to execute my PHP page it did not get parsed. So I tried to restart my laptop but after that I am getting a Recovering journal screen at every boot with messages like these:

run-init: /sbin/init: no such file or directory
Run-init: /etc/init : permission denied
Run-init: /bin/init: no such file or directory
Mbibmsh: 0 : Can't open splash

  • Please edit your question and add the link of the documentation that you're talking about. What do you mean by 'upgradation seems to be successful'? Why are you not sure? If you can then please take a picture of the screen while those error messages are shown and attach that with your question so that people here can better understand the problem. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 20 '17 at 15:43

  • Did you follow the steps as mentioned by Ravexina? If yes then what output messages (or error messages in case of failure) did you get? If you prefer to re-install Ubuntu then what preferences do you have? Do you want to keep your data in / intact? Or do you want to format all of the drive and do a fresh install? If you want to keep your data then may I know the partition scheme of your hard disk. I know it is a lot of work and if you don't have much time and you do have back up of your data (or don't care about the data) then I would suggest a fresh install. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 21 '17 at 09:00
  • Data is not important for me.. Help me to install again.. – prerna saini Nov 21 '17 at 09:41
  • I am assuming that Ubuntu is the only OS on your system. If yes then please see this: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#1 It's a step by step guide to install Ubuntu on your system. If you don't understand something or need help while installing Ubuntu, feel free to ask. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 21 '17 at 10:40
  • Thanks for your comment... Download ubuntu iso file and make bootable disk through universal usb installer and follow the steps but i did not get screen for installing ubuntu instead i get the same screen... – prerna saini Nov 22 '17 at 09:44
  • I'm sorry that I'm not much help. When you use that bootable disk, do you get the grub where it asks for what you want to do (like Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu)? If yes, then please select Try Ubuntu . Then connect to internet and open a command prompt. Type sudo apt install init. Then reboot your system and detach the bootable disk. Turn the system on and see if it boot this time. – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 22 '17 at 13:14
  • Hi, thanks for your support and help, now i am able to install ubuntu without any loss of data, i am very thankful to you, you are really a nice person who believe in helping others.. May god fulfil all your wishes ☺️☺️☺️ – prerna saini Nov 22 '17 at 16:13
  • Sorry for figuring it out after making you wait for a long time. Someone with better understanding of the problem might have solved this earlier. But anyway happy to find that your problem has been solved. Thank you so much for your wishes but I don't think god has something to do with it ;-) :-P – Manish Kumar Bisht Nov 22 '17 at 17:11
