Hi, Thanks a lot for the help. I used 'fsck' command at boot time and it recovered my filesystem successfully :) and now my system is working properly. Thanks & Regards, Suman. <div> On 5/6/07, Kam Leo <<a href="mailto:kam.leo@gmail.com">kam.leo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 5/5/07, suman rapolu <<a href="mailto:suman.neo@gmail.com">suman.neo@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Hi, > > Today when i tried to upgrade some packages using "Synaptic" package > manager, the window didn't minimized and suddenly not responded.

Run in text mode so that you can force the system to check the file system. 1. At the grub boot menu type the letter "a" This will bring up a second grub screen for you to append options to the kernel command line. 2. Type a space and the number three, i.e. " 3" This data tell the kernel to boot to runlevel 3 (text mode, X will not be started). 3. Press the Enter key. You should be presented with a login prompt upon completion of boot. 4. Log in as root. 5. Type the following: touch /forcefsck reboot The system will reboot and perform a file system check. Note: After the file system has been checked X may still not work. At this point you need to perform a check of installed packages using rpm. -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div>
