Public bug reported:
1) Hardy 8.04.2
2)"W: Unable to locate package packagename"
First off this isn't an install of hardy, I'm using the "try ubuntu without any
change to your computer" to show my parents the OS to try and convert them from
XP since they've been having problems with the OS. I was trying to back up some
doc files to save onto Ubuntu, had they liked it, but only had access to my
dad's account, my mom was gone so I ran another distro of linux which had
ophcrack on it to recover my mother's password. The program failed to find
tables which is odd since I've used the disk before and checked it on another
computer afterwards, so I decided to mount the hard drive to get password
hashes. At this point my father called my mother and got the password.. so the
passwords are recovered, but, when I was trying to reboot the computer to XP
the linux distro wouldn't quit, so I did a hard shutdown (held the power
button). That was a bad idea. NFTS is still mounted to the other linux distro
and I can't seem to unmount, so, windows won't boot and gives me that dreaded
blue screen saying something about unclean shutdown blah blah.. The windows XP
disk has vanished so the recovery consul isn't an option right now, and it
won't boot to safe mode. I'm now back on the "try ubuntu" for trouble shooting;
this is the error I get when I try to mount the hard drive: " Cannot mount
volume. Details: $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) Failed to mount '
dev/sda2': operationnot supported mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be
in use." then it goes on to explain options, of which the only one that applies
is: "type mount -t ntfs -3g /dev/sda2/media/disk -o force" which I tried.
Any ideas how to force an unmount?
