Hi, me again. Just to emphase on how much the explanations of the commands in such an option is important, I’m continuing the story: after running the “sudo dpkg --configure -a”, I restarted my computer. As usual with Ubuntu you have to be expecting anything: and there it is, my computer doesn’t start anymore, thank you guys. I get a “Grub rescue” screen, which I know nothing about and that has absolutely no “help” command available. Ubuntu: Great. Note that it worked just before: it was the “sudo dpkg --configure -a” command that made it failed. I’m now writing this message in an live USB which I’ve just learned how to create in Fedora, as I by chance had access to another computer in such cases… I’m now trying to run Boot-repair, which—of course, it’s included in Ubuntu—is not yet available for Ubuntu 14.04. I don’t consider myself a causal user and I’m encountering huge obstacles to upgrade a computer… I’m sorry guys, but for me Ubuntu can’t be said to be a causal system because of this lack of seriousness. I’m not saying it’s better in Fedora, but Fedora is not meant for causal users (or at least, they don’t advertise this like ubuntu). I hope that by this additionnal story you now understand what I mean by “explain the commands”. Typically knowing the fact that “dpkg --configure” can break the system can already be a useful information…
Of course it could be great one day to be able to upgrade an Ubuntu system without fearing of breaking anything… but I think it’s not in the goals for Ubuntu (or Ubuntu people forgot about them). It’s quite a shame: this would avoid such bug reports and all the complains I read against Ubuntu in fora. No seriously, Ubuntu really sucks in upgrading itself, it would be time to do something for it! Hoping you’ll understand my bad mood.
