I manage to got at least my system back! Here are the steps to recover it (note that some steps might not be useful, but I'm unsure): 1. reboot in recovery mode 2. choose the root prompt with network
And then: dpkg-reconfigure -a dpkg --configure -a At that point, I had a missing file /sbin/udevadm which prevents any further change to my packages system. So I launch another VM with just Ubuntu Live CD, I have installed SSH (using synaptics), and I did a scp on the Ubuntu Live VM to get that missing udevadm file. So something like: scp [email protected]:/sbin/udevadm /sbin/ Then I did again: dpkg --configure -a It did work this time, and I went on: apt-get -f install apt-get --fix-missing install apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get clean apt-get autoremove aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard) reboot I have my system restored (or almost, the java, and a few other packages where still missing).
