With live-CD (Knoppix or Ubuntu) you can also chroot yourself to Ubuntu on hard drive and try updating/fixing system. Much like chrooting to /opt. On my computer like this: sudo mkdir /temp sudo mount /dev/sda2 /temp sudo chroot /temp Replace /dev/sda2 with your Ubuntu-partition which you can find out with sudo fdisk -l.
