My computer, (i386, original install of jaunty, then upgraded to karmic, now with latest kernel updates) just developed a similar problem after attempting to update all application pkgs in synaptic.
Synaptic completed most but not all the application upgrades even after repeating the exercise several times. However, everything ran completely OK -- until I tried to reboot. Choosing the latest version of karmic in GRUB. led to a screen frozen with the Ubuntu logo. Trying 'Recovery' mode in GRUB resulted in some activity which halted with this msg : .... /sbin/init: relocation error: /sbin/init: symbol __abort_msg, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! .... The computer then just freezes with the screen displaying the above error msg. The foregoing results occurred no matter which version of karmic one chose, ie, the earlier installed karmic kernel versions. A power off hard reboot is then necessary to return to GRUB. I am sending this post via a Fedora LIVE CD. My karmic install -with all its installed applications and data files- is unusable. Would be grateful for a quick solution. I hope it does NOT involve a total new install of karmic -- GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in libc.so.6 with link time reference https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
