Ubuntu

Boot up problem

Asked by vfrankli

Hello,
     Last night after updating files in Ubuntu, I shut down instead of restarting. Today, the booting process gets as far as the words, "Starting up..." and freezes. I don't know what I can do to get past this point. Up to last night, I have had very few problems with Ubuntu and those I had were easy to correct. Can you help with this problem?

If you are running Ubuntu 8.04 and you have enabled the hardy-proposed testing repository, then you are probably experiencing bug 251344.

Please remember that hardy-proposed is a testing repository aimed primarily at people wanting to test updates to packages before they are released to the general user base. You should only be running this repository if you are comfortable with occasional breakage such as this.

OK, I see. So what do I do now? What is the best way to proceed, reinstall 8.04 or reformat the hd and start over?
