Full kernel corruption after a botched sudo full-upgrade.
I got the wonderful "bailing out you are on your own" shit as well.
Read a guide online about a hail mary ext file system journal recovery protocol, I ran it, like most things without reading too deeply.
Kernel was successfully repaired, Kubuntu kept on truckin'
What does that even mean?
Was the file system on which your kernel resided corrupt, or did something go wrong with a kernel upgrade/installation?
It was some combination of both, the system would post, past the bootloader, attempt to initialize drivers and other standard starting packages and then immediately panic and drop into an emergency terminal (/TTS), with a failure to mount the root partition, from what I can recall. It tried it a couple times and then there was an error message that said: "Bailing out, you are on you own, good luck"
What is this "bailing out you are on your own" shit ?
An error message you can get if you really manage to mess things up. I got it once a few years ago.
wow for real ? what causes it ? that sounds terrible. It's not informative at all
