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

 

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 works!

After the reboot the system was ok so it seems the problem was related
to an error in the upgrade procedure of the kernel which has been solved
simply installing a new version of the kernel
