Public bug reported: I went through the upgrade process from 9.04 to 9.10. As I fully expected per my past experience, errors only showed up at the 99%-complete marker. :-( Indeed, right on cue. Anyway, the update routine tried to send you bug reports, but since I was not yet registered for Launchpad, that failed. So now I don't know how to get you the information. I don't even know if I'll be able to get into my system once I try rebooting, which I have not yet tried.
I'll do the comnand-line thing you show on this forms page. I saved three screen shots: an error to do with "could not install 'linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic'" (I was up to -16, however), which said "please consider submitting a bug report" and "subprocess installed post-installation script returned exit 2"; a second pop-up from karmic that said "could not install the upgrades: the upgrade is now aborted. Your system could be in an unstable state. A recovery will now run (dpkg --configure -a)"; and a final pop-up that said Upgrade complete: the upgrade is completed but there were errors during the upgrade process." I guess I'll soon find out if my system is now toast. I made a backup last night, luckily. P.S. Using your suggestion for reporting a bug about the kernel via the command-line failed. You suggested: ubuntu-bug -p linux >From that I get: d...@nomotek-u:~$ ubuntu-bug -p linux Warning: The options -p/-P are deprecated, please do not use them. See /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug --help (Followed by a frozen console terminal screen where ^C does not work.) And then a pop-up that says: "The problem cannot be reported: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package." Excuse me? Okay, here's your alternative info as you requested: 1) uname -a > uname-a.log 2) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log 3) dmesg > dmesg.log 4) sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log I am unclear on how to get these to you.
