Re: [Bug 1362973] Re: package udev 204-5ubuntu20.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2

 

Thank you for you help!
At the moment I cannot log in into the system. It seems the USB ports 
are not available any more and on this computer I do not have any serial 
port to connect the keyboard.

I move the hard disk on which there is the operating system on another 
hardware with serial ports for keyboard and mouse. Now I can log in into 
the system (graphical mode), but I cannot reach my USB key in any of the 
USB ports.

On this system I have also VirtualBox. When I try to run a virtual 
machine an error message is displayed asking to run "sudo 
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" because there is some missing permission and 
it cannot find the kernel modules for VirtualBox and its virtual 
machines. I did the action, but it failed, telling me to read 
/var/log/vbox-install.log (this file is attached to this email)

After some hours during which the pc was on, I run the update utility 
and it found a kernel upgrade. I did the upgrade, then I tried again to 
run the virtualbox command and suddenly it worked! It also asks me to 
reboot the system, but at the moment I am managing the machine through 
TeamViewer: I don't want to reboot the system because I fear to 
definitely loose the contact with the pc. Tomorrow morning I will be 
near the pc, so I will do the reboot and I will send you further details.

I hope all the details in this email will be useful for something, at 
least recreating the situation...

Again, thanks for your support,
Your sincerely,

Samuele
