Thunderbird requires nscd? That would be the Name Service Cache Daemon? That makes a lot of sense. :-) Anyway, that has fixed it for me too. Thanks. -- Thunderbird crashes with segmentation fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571308 You received this bug notification because you are a membe

I am also seeing this problem and it is very annoying. To clarify what others have said, I found that the workaround is: $ sudo su - $ apt-get upgrade I found that 'sudo apt-get upgrade' doesn't work as it does not seem to pick up the http_proxy setting. Further, if I have accidentally tried to

I have seen this as well. It seems only to be a problem when you click on the 'Upgrade' button, when it does some checks before displaying the Release Notes. I can verify this by starting update-manager with ports 80 and 443 blocked on the proxy server (ie, http and https forced through the proxy

Is this serious? I raised this bug a year and a half ago so obviously it is not now referring to the most recent version of the package. I am afraid I cannot test this for you now as I am now using CentOS as my fileserver. 2009/7/3 Kamus : > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and h

If it is the same problem as I saw I know a way of getting round it, although I'm not entirely clear of the details. Unfortunately (for you), it involves avoiding the "migrate users" step, which will mean that your new Ubuntu install will not have all the XP users set up automatically for you. I

Thanks. I managed to install in the end by editing one of the install scripts (I forget which) commenting out the section that ran the migration assistant. If I knew a bit more python I might have looked at it a bit more but I'm afraid my knowledge extends to putting a # in front of a few lines.
