Software Up to Date menu update option.
Alpha release of Quantal Quetzal from i386 iso.
Bypassed both network update during install and language pack
installations after install when a connection was present. Part way
through the first update the system was interrupted. Afterwards, a
partial update option was present. When the analysis was performed a
window popped up saying the Updtate had crashed with the option to close
or restart. However, the update application window was still active and
(so long as you didn't look at 'terminal' or extend the window past the
bottom of the screen) the option to continue the partial install worked.
This fixed a variety of issues such as Firefox not launching from the
launchpad and a plethora of other incidental headaches.
The upshot is that the crash reported is less of a crash than it appears
to be an error arising from a component that either reinstanntiates
itself or that the crash status is misreported. A bit of knowledge may
be dangerous in the wrong hands here. 12.10 is in Alpha stage until the
fall.
Incidentally, the Quantal Quetxal install was done under Oracle Virtual
Box on an Athlon X2 3400+ 64 bit Windows Media Centre Edition 32 bit
without support in the BIOS for virtualization as available on the chip.
