Hello, I have just installed Ubuntu again to do web development and everything has been working great for some time. The computer froze on the weekend in Chrome and I had to hold down the power button. Upon restarting it wouldn't boot as there were hard disk errors. I managed to get in and run an fdisk to fix the errors. However, when I rebooted the system wouldn't start because systemd had many failures, and the login service failed.
I searched all over the internet and couldn't find any basic help on how to repair broken services on start. I also was unable to find utilities to help the situation. Surprisingly, I even read I should be able to reinstall Ubuntu and maintain all my local files and folders, but the Ubuntu install couldn't even find the existing Ubuntu installation and said "unknown linux distribution."
I even managed to install without reformatting the drive. But then when I started ubuntu the package manager wouldn't work and dpkg kept failing with depcon: error in linux package manager due to dependencies and linux generic or something like that. I tried everything that was supposed to fix it but I couldn't install any packages like vim. It always failed.
This was getting so frustrating I ended up reformatting the entire drive and now everything works fine.
How come a modern operating system like Ubuntu Desktop has so many problems that are unrecoverable and it seems unacceptable that there isn't more support than what is out there. To have Ubuntu become unrecoverable like this seems to be totally unacceptable. Isn't there a utility or repair tool (not for grub), but for other issues. In fact, grub is also a problem, I installed ubuntu on my external drive but now I am unable to boot without my external drive (even though grub is on main windows partition). I have tried grub repair and it doesn't work. Nothing works without plugging in my external hd. I feel like I am back in the 80's.
My machine is a 3 year old Dell Lenovo laptop with 16gigs of ram and a lot of hard drive space. Please let me know what is happening here, thanks!
Extremely Unhappy With Ubuntu
