I have a small problem while loading up Ubuntu from a VM BOX.

I have used it for a few months without problems as I used it mainly for embedded school projects. Now I have a problem.

I did: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade to update and upgrade the system. However, now when I try to load it up, this happens. Picture of the problem

When that loads up and I press OK, nothing happens then. It is basically crashing. What might be the issue here?

  • The issue is that a critical system file seems to be missing. Boot into [recovery mode](https://askubuntu.com/questions/172319/how-can-i-start-ubuntu-in-safe-mode) and use apt to reinstall the `base-files` package: `sudo apt install --reinstall base-files`. If there are any errors in the output (especially errors that you do not understand), then take a picture of the complete output so we can see all errors, and the sequence in which they occur. – user535733 Jun 15 '19 at 20:08
  • Hey. Thank you so much. Which menu option should I pick? Clean, DPKG, fsck, grub, network, root or system-summery. Also, I've tried root and it end up telling me that access to the console/root account is locked. – Ravoos Jun 16 '19 at 11:22
  • I'm sorry. My bad. [link](https://imgur.com/gallery/iCWy9Zv) This is the menu I get up when I set it up in recovery mode. – Ravoos Jun 16 '19 at 14:25
  • Try 'resume' or 'dkpg'. Some of the others would work, too. – user535733 Jun 16 '19 at 14:27
  • Hmmm. I tried them both and I get the same problem as I did first. – Ravoos Jun 16 '19 at 14:30
