[Bug 2146463] Re: Booting in Emergency Mode

[Rick St. George]

FYI ... the ubuntu-release-upgrade tool has NEVER worked for me, causing
additional headaches, time and productivity delays. Moreover the forums
suggested it is best to do a clean install. And they System must be
right and upto date in order to upgrade to the next version. Right?!?!
Just saying.

Title:
  Booting in Emergency Mode

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Picture says a 1000 words. Please see pic attached as this is what I
  get upon boot-up and not sure why. I keep hitting ENTER, then type
  EXIT at the prompt. Sometimes it works and boots up, sometimes not -
  so I repeat until it does.

  Don't know what pkg it would be. May not be a bug! I'm not a
  programmer. Just something I've been putting up with for about a year.
  What can I do before upgrading to next version?

  Thanks!
