Not unlikely I went indeed to the wrong place but then not for the reason you might think :P


Downgrading does work as a workaround as expected but maybe somebody would had been known a...

After upgrading apt to version 1.1.3 and executing "apt-get update" I have noticed several errors. It ended up in cleaning /var/lib/apt/lists and now I'm getting error messages like "Couldn't create...

If removing it would really cause the network to failure after a reboot then it should get propably an essential flag (except systemd should now provide its functionality).

I have now opened a bug report for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1357713

As stated the upstart change could maybe be correct but I'm more annoyed about that this...

After todays system upgrade I'm noticing that upstart is now unbound:


root@ubuntu:~# clean -u
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done...

The issue should also be fixed since the Ubuntu package version 3.4.2-1.

Sadly my internet went down over night otherwise I would have telled you that deleting /etc/init.d/.depend.* solves the issue too as a workaround (but now you have already another workaround).

Hm, yes, the insserv problem is the same. The question now is if it is related to the booting problem (as my laptop hasn't encountered the insserv problem).

I have just now made a dist-upgrade on my laptop and after booting it gets stuck at:


keys:
* Stopping Mount filesystems on boot

Some lines before there is an error:

If pkexec wouldn't require to permanently run the polycikit process in the background then I would think about to replace gksu with it.

Interestingly I'm also getting issues with pkexec. It doesn't launch a graphical appliction for me and after entering my password in the terminal it closes without giving an error message.

I'm getting a similar error with the same effects and have opened a bug report for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/1321704

I'm also assuming this error comes from...

Maybe you want to post this information in the linked bug report and also registering yourself to the affected users.




I'm preferring the NVIDIA driver.

I'm not sure if a Windows XP user who thinks about to switch to Linux wants really to use a pre-release which means more effort.
Windows is a strong upstream related system which means the...

A few days with high risk as I would not be wondered if "the evil site" is holding back exploits until the last patchday for Windows XP has passed to take immediate advantage of zero-day exploits.

The release schedule should've been modified to take advantage of the end of Windows XP as many users are switching now. Having an up to date LTS release would be a much better argument than a...

I'm using nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu7 and it has acpid as dependency but if I'm making a look into /etc/acpi I'm seeing only a power button rule that comes directly from acpid. Now I'm...

After some more testing I couldn't figure out how to solve this. On looking at the GRUB bugtracker I have found a related report and posted into it: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40853

Yes, this is what I'm trying to achieve.




On testing this a little more from a default /etc/default/grub just add the line GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden (alternatively commenting out...

30_os-prober was indeed the cause. If the timeout was set to 0 it has set it to 10. But setting GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT to 0.0 does successfully hide the menu (0.0 seems to be kept as a float and not...

I'm having Ubuntu and Windows XP installed resulting that GRUB (grub-pc 2.02~beta2-7) does always show for 10 seconds a startmenu on booting. I have made already a look into the wiki and searched...

Ah thanks, I have not really noticed this button before :)

Am I the only wondering why nvidia-settings has created his xorg.conf while it shouldn't be responsible for doing this? Normally nvidia-xconfig is creating the xorg.conf.
