1 start PC and let it load to X login screen (after getting X setup popup and choosing continue) 2 do a ctrl+alt+F1 and get to terminal and login. 3 sudo rm /usr/bin/localedef 4 sudo dpkg --configure -a 5 let upgrade finish and when back to the prompt "reboot" -- Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
