I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 lts and I had the bad idea to add a saucy repository (saucy main universe) to the /etc/apt/sources.list
and to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
. At some point it stopped, because of an error with xserver-common.
Now that I have restarted my computer, I can only see my background image when I log in.
I opened tty1, put the repository line in the sources.list in comment and tried a few commands:
lsb_release -a
gives me Release 13.10 and uname -a
precise.
sudo apt-get install -f
, sudo dpkg --configure -a
and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
ran without any problem but it didn't resolve anything.
I also tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and sudo do-release-upgrade
but there wasn't anything to upgrade or no new release found.
How can I either get back to a stable system with precise or completely upgrade to trusty? Thank you so much.
