I experienced the same issue on Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64 after a power failure during an update run. Your methodology of booting a live cd, mounting the partitions, chroot, and complete the updates worked for me and I was able to recover my system.
I posted my experience on the Mint forums here:- http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=196408 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/358654 Title: udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/358654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
