[SOLVED] apt-get/aptitude stuck on grub->Generating grub.cfg
Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2010 4:34 pm
Hello every one!
I'm running a new install of LMDE, with xp as dual-boot, installed from a dvd downloaded two months ago ( I did check the integrity, so no problem there), gurb installed just fine. During dist-upgrade with apt-get(500+ updates
), some packages where stuck when configuring. I ctrl+c'ed them. the problem is that running aptitude to try to solve this don't do better.
It is still stuck, after an half hour, showing this:
I am still waiting, now for more than half an hour. I googled for stuck grub, I searched some bug reports for debian, I tried to run
after killing the process (as recommended here), removing locking files when it was necessary ( /var/lib/dpkg/lock to get dpkg running, /var/cache/debconf/config.dat and then /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat to get aptitude working). I encountered the same problem. Removing those files and then running the above dpkg command after killing the aptitude process causes it to be stuck at the exact same point.
One important note : Gparted (see Gparted Screenshot under) shows me I got a 100G hdd when I only got 2x40G on my toshiba satellite laptop.
Could you please help me?
how can I be sure I'll be able to boot next time?
how to get grub working?
I put the lspci output at the bottom of this post.

EDIT : while preparing to shudown, keyboardInterrupted the hanging dpkg --configure -a and got the output shown in Full dkpg --configure -a. I choosed not to install grub and it seemed like there were some missing files.
Full dkpg --configure -a
