I realize this is too late to help, but I wonder if Software Sources > Maintenance > Downgrade foreign packages would have resolved the issues?

Good catch here with this

I'll have to use gui stuff more often

You can run fsck from initramfs with fsck -fvy /dev/sda7 /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root

I get to a page with the title The officially official Devuan Forum!

I would suggest contacting the site administrator as maybe your IP is being blocked

Mustachio,

If worse comes to worse root can copy any files so use sudo -i in the terminal to get escalated privileges.

You can reset the owner:group later with chown.

Can you paste the link here

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

You would run sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal.

If it fails, paste back the terminal results so we can have a look.

One thing you want to follow up on is changing the pin priority in /etc/apt/preferences.d/official-extra-repositories.pref back to 700. If the gl packages reverted back to the ubuntu repo versions then the kernel parameter nomodeset is going to inhibit direct rendering so remove that from grub.cfg t...

Can you paste back a listing of a locked picture with ls -lh thepicture.jpg and ls -lhd ../*

If you don't even get an initial BIOS screen that indicates F10 Boot Menu F2 Setup or something similar with the computer manufacturer logo for about 2-4 seconds then it might be the MB that's fried.

terry_g,

You might also consider setting the fs_passno to 2 and setting the Maximum mount count to 30 or so for periodic fsck during boot.

iegarcia,

Try rebooting and using this one line at a time

Code: Select all

sudo -i
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Try using the one with the latest date - you must be at version 2.19. Do you have or can you get the Mint 17 live media version that matches your installation :?: We'll have to pick this up tomorrow as it's real late here (or should I say early) Having the same version live media would be a big help...

I have to confess that I have no clue what's causing the Can't find a source to download stuff. I had the same situation here and could not resolve it. I don't know what can be done to try to revive your system if a package can't be downloaded :? The only chance is if you have the package in the arc...

What does errors=remount-ro do?

Terry

If an error is detected it will remount the filesystem read only to prevent further corruption otherwise it will just mark the filesystem as erroneous and continue which is the default set in the superblock.

Works here

Code: Select all
