Thank you for your kind response. I ran "sudo apt-get clean" & ran update manager...There was no detectable or visible response. I may be able to throw some light on the issue though?
I have three hard drives on the same machine, Windowsxp, Maverick 10.1, and Natty Beta 1. I always keep the outgoing distro (mav) until the final release of the new distro is relatively bug free or stable. Maverick uses the Geode driver with ATI 2400 HD pro; while Natty is now using the newly supplied ATI fglrx driver's which was a major problem as Natty default driver hangs at boot time and you cannot see the monitor to pull in a new driver . Natty needs a driver choice at pre-install. My problem. For Natty boot time I ran "sudo update-grub" which gave error message, [357.007452] EXT-fs (sdg1) write access unavailable, cannot proceed. I then re-booted and ran Maverick with "sudo update-grub" I then got the error message [170.504403] EXT-fs (sdc1)write access unavailable, cannot proceed. Grub seems to be incompatible with the two competing distros; at boot time there was several old headers present so I ran "dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\ +\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge" to clean them. I hope this helps you comprehend the issue...many thanks Chris. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755355 Title: [357.007452] EXT-fs (sdg1) write access unavailable, cannot proceed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
