I was running kubuntu 14.04 as a guest in VirtualBox, the host being Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. I decided to upgrade last week (mainly to avoid constant messages telling me that a "security update" was available for my system). And afterwards, it didn't boot, I got the dreaded "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long string> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" message.
On the advice of others, I devided to install a new system from scratch, which I just did this morning (upgrading VirtualBox first); I installed the guest additions, updated and upgraded as advised by the installation documentation - and guess what: the same old error again! So it seems that upgrading, somehow, breaks the system.
Is there any way round this? Or should I just remember to never ever ever enter "sudo apt-get upgrade" again?
Thanks,
