I tried to upgrade my system from Ubuntu 14.04. My laptop froze for a few hours. Not even the pointer did anything. So I switched off by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
This uncompleted installation is the origin of my problem.
When I reboot the system, grub appears and then, the following message:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details
Plus some other lines that end with a final:
Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
When I open a command line by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 I'm able to enter
sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
and I get the following output:
status systemd-modules-load.service
If I repeat the systemctl command, I get sometimes other process instead of 179, for example, 183.
Just in case it's needed,
sudo ls /lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service
gives me
/lib/system/systemd-modules-load
(written in green)
journalctl
outputs a lot of data. The red lines are the following ones:
First red line:
Second and third red line:
Fourth red line:
I really appreciate a little bit of help here. I don't know what to do next and I've searched the web finding nothing.
