[Bug 262504] Re: manual partitioner automatically selects "format" when changing file system, without warning

2008-09-27 Thread RobertH
To answer your question why I found it necessary to change the
filesystem, the answer is that I didn't. It was a slip of the mouse and
I accidentally selected ext2 instead of ext3 or vice versa. (This would
have been less likely, but still not impossible, to happen if the
existing filesystem on the partition was already highlighted or pre-
selected in the drop-down box, but it wasn't.)

Is it worth a pop-up warning dialog? Yes, I think causing a partition to
be formatted by an indirect method (remember, I very intentionally had
left the Format Partition checkbox UNCHECKED!), is worth a pop-up
warning. I can assure you that if I hadn't noticed and caught the
accidental error and if Ubuntu had gone ahead and reformatted my
partition, I would have had some very nasty words to say about Ubuntu
installers!!!

[Bug 262584] Re: Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly

2008-09-11 Thread RobertH
Gave the same problem on Alpha 5 (except with 2.6.27-2. I still haven't
been able to install Intrepid (64-bit). It only puts the initrd on /boot
plus a vmcoreinfo file, but not the vmlinuz file.

When I changed menu.lst to boot from the Hardy kernel (2.6.24-19), I can
boot Kubuntu. But if I try to mount /boot, I get "unknown ext2
filesystem". If I try to mount the CD, I get "unknown ISo9660
filesystem". So I haven't found a way to manual get the Intrepid kernel
onto my /boot partition yet.

[Bug 262500] [NEW] Misleading SKIP button in Intrepid installer

2008-08-28 Thread RobertH
Public bug reported:

I was installing Intrepid Kubuntu Alpha 4. Everything went well until it
said something like "Checking time with internet time servers". Since my
Internet was off line at the time, I clicked SKIP to skip this step,
thinking that the installation would just proceed to the next step.
However, the installer seemed to skip ALL THE REST of the installation.

Perhaps the button would be better labelled ABORT if this is the
intended behaviour. To me, SKIP implied skip a step and then proceed
with the next step(s).

[Bug 262504] [NEW] Intrepid installation manual partitioner automatically selects "format"

2008-08-28 Thread RobertH
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was installing Intrepid Kubuntu Alpha 4 from the LiveCD onto a
multiboot system. I chose MANUAL PARTITIONING. After selecting EDIT
PARTITION for my /boot partition, I accidentally chose the wrong file
system from the drop down box. It was only later that I noticed that
FORMAT PARTITION had a grayed-out X in the box. Fortunately I saw it and
figured out the error and was able to cancel out then start again.

I think  manual partitioning would be much safer if it warned the user
when the installer decides to format a partition when the user had not
actively requested it. (I had very intentionally left the format
partition box unchecked because I didn't want my boot partition wiped
out!)

[Bug 262584] [NEW] Intrepid LiveCD installer didn't set up boot files correctly

2008-08-29 Thread RobertH
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I have Ubuntu Hardy, Win-Vista and Gentoo all on a multi-boot system
using Grub. /boot is a separate small ext2 partition.

When I installed Intrepid Kubuntu Alpha 4 from LiveCD on a separate
(ext3) partition, it completed successfully. But the system wouldn't
boot. The former menu.lst had been wiped out without saving any backup
copy that I could see (but I'm used to Ubuntu installs doing that). The
new entries pointed to initrd.img-2.6.26-5-generic and to
vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic. (There are also symbolic links to these two
files in the root folder.) vmlinuz-2.6.26-5-generic does not exist on
the /boot partition (nor could I find it anywhere else). However, there
is a file vmcoreinfo-2.6.26-5-generic on /boot.

Surely it's not correct to try to boot from vmlinuz and initrd files
mixed from different Ubuntu versions? I tried reinstalling from the
LiveCD again but the same problem. This seems weird. (I could fix up
menu.lst if I could work out where to find a copy of vmlinuz-2.6.26-5 to
copy onto my /boot partition.)

[Bug 376054] Re: [karmic] installation of ebox hangs at: restarting eBox module apache

2009-07-26 Thread RobertH
I have the same problem in Karmic i386. It did warn me that maybe port
443 was already being used, but since it only said "maybe" and then
there was a continue option, I choose Yes (continue). Then it locked up
as described above. I had to abort it with Ctrl+C.

Then I tried "dpkg --configure ebox". This time when it asked about the
port number, I said No (don't continue). But I couldn't get past that
screen no matter how many times I selected No. So I gave up and selected
Yes and then it locked up again.

I couldn't find where in the config files that ebox selected port 443 so
I couldn't see where to change it. I gave up and used "apt-get remove
ebox" for now.

Public bug reported:

The "Data still needs to be written to a device"  too similar to the "Safe to 
remove" dialogue.
The warning should be more obviously a warning instead of a notification.
It should be coloured red to make it instantly distinguishable from the "Safe 
to Remove" dialogue even at a glance. 
All warnings should be coloured differently than notifications (red would be 
great).

[Bug 507555] Re: shut down hangs after white ubuntu logo disappears

2010-05-06 Thread RobertH
OK, I considered that it might be worth purging my last updates which
were on 30 April. My reasoning was that while the following text...

"* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld...done
* Shutting down Alsa...
* Asking remaining processes to terminate...
* Deconfiguring network interfaces...
* Deactivating Swap...
* Will now halt"

...had only been appearing since yesterday, sometimes this text does not
appear but the screen goes black without powering off the computer. So I
may not have noticed it till yesterday. (Long shot).

Anyway, I got rid of the latest linux-headers, linux-headers generic,
and linux-image generic packages (2.6.31.21.24) (I still had the
previous ones installed), and the problem was solved - on my desktop.

But not on my laptop (the object of this bug), which has the problem
ever since first installation of Ubuntu months ago. However, this
further info may help somebody... ?

Maybe this is a bug in ACPI.

I found the following work round (from various sources) which works for
me:

Edit file /etc/modules: add line "apm" (no quotation marks)
Edit file /etc/default/grub: at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT add "apm=power-off" 
in quotation marks and directly after any other kernel line commands without 
leaving a space between them (if I left a space it didn't work!)
Then in terminal type: sudo update-grub

After rebooting shutdown works normally.

[Bug 507555] [NEW] shut down hangs after white ubuntu logo disappears

2010-01-14 Thread RobertH
Public bug reported:

I was so pleased with Ubuntu (9.10) on my desktop that I installed it on
my Acer TravelMate 4001LMi laptop, too. However, on the laptop (but not
on the desktop) I cannot shut down properly. I get a black screen, most
usually with the following text:

"* Stopping MySQL database server mysqld...done
* Shutting down Alsa...
* Asking remaining processes to terminate...
* Deconfiguring network interfaces...
* Deactivating Swap...
* Will now halt"
(Flashing cursor)

Sometimes the text is:

"Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) tty1
(my computer name) login:" (flashing cursor)

On one occasion I got:

"Ubuntu 9.10 (my computer name) tty1
(my computer name) login: init: usplash main process (10187) killed by TERM 
signal"

Sometimes I just get a black screen with a white flashing cursor.

In all cases it hangs there and does not completely shut down.
Restart works normally. I have WinXP installed on a separate partition and this 
shuts down normally.

Updating with all recommended updates including the latest kernel
version did not solve the problem. I have now reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10
freshly, but the problem remains.

I'd be very grateful for help to triage this bug. Many thanks.

Has anyone checked this?
downloaded the file and checked it. no known detectable virus issues with the

Was wondering if anyone has looked into it further or verified this is a

Can't confirm that it's exactly this bug coz now locked out of system.
Before getting locked out completely, running "sudo anything" would
immediately say 3 attempts failed.

Yes, I couldn't confirm any details about the bug yesterday (on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1866844) coz I'm
still locked out of my system but it was the only mention I could find
then of a libc6/libcrypt install failure. Will Jeffrey's instructions
there still work if using ZFS instead of ext4?

[Bug 1867431] Re: ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libc6'

2020-03-14 Thread RobertH
Second day unable to login. Didn't get any advice here about zfs
(obviously not many users), but I'm in a recovery terminal and managed
to find `zfs mount -a` which at least filled out \var. \lib is a symlink
to \usr\lib but not finding a `x86_64-linux-gnu` folder there, so unable
to follow Jefrrey's instructions about `libcrypt.so`. Any help would be
appreciated coz I've run out of things to try.

Yeah, it's 64-bit. Just got in :-), thanks Jeffrey. Might have been
finger problems earlier -- seems  `x86_64-linux-gnu` was there, just not
showing up in autocomplete. The `zfs mount -a` was the only extra step
needed for ZFS. Thanks to everyone for your help. I've loved using
Ubuntu for many years now.

[Bug 1867431] Re: ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libc6'

2020-03-15 Thread RobertH
Jsut realised that when I deleted the resolv.conf symlink and instead
created a file containing the single line `nameserver 8.8.8.8` in order
to get internet access from the broken system, that change remained once
I got the system working again. But I forgot to note down what it was
pointing to before. I see on my eoan system it's a symlink to
`../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf` so I presume that's also
correct for focal? Just noting it here for other users to remember to
fix afterwards (by deleting the file with `cd /etc/`. `sudo rm
resolv.conf`, and then `sudo ln -s ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-
resolv.conf resolv.conf' (although not sure why it's a relative path and
not an absolute one). Searching Google for automatic ways to do this
didn't lead me to any more automated way that would work on my focal
system which doesn't appear to have the resolvconf package installed.
