I just "upgraded" a system from Kubuntu 14.04 to Kubuntu 14.10, and the "broken pipe" error popped up. Some questions for the suffering populace:
1. Does the error occur with 14.04 or only with 14.10? 2. Does it occur with 14.10 installed directly or only with 14.10 upgraded from 14.04? In my experience it is specifically associated with upgrading 14.04 to 14.10 but is not associated with specific video hardware since it has been reported both for Nvidia video and Intel video. Does anyone have experience to the contrary? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364630 Title: init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: [ 16.934379] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: init 1.20ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-11.16-generic 3.16.1 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Tue Sep 2 17:23:15 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-27 (128 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) SourcePackage: init-system-helpers UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1364630/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
