Similar for me also. I installed two .iso images using VMware Player. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 successfully and was able to perform all software updates. I installed Kubuntu 11.10 successfully, but was *NOT* able to perform all software updates, and it hung at 56% Running dpkg . I tried this solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89401/first-update-after-fresk-kubuntu-install-hangs-bc-of-dpkg-now-what
Step 1: Open a Konsole and type: ps -e | grep muon sudo kill #### (number identified above (I had to supply my password, and now the muon-updater window closed)) exit (to close the Konsole) Step 2: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player) Step 3: Play the Virtual Machine. Failure: Error while opening the virtual machine: A serious error occured when accessing this virtual machine: Input/output error Configuration file: \\[path stuff here]\My Documents\Virtual Machines\Kubuntu1110\Kubuntu1110.vmx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855793 Title: Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “kde-workspace” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After installing Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1 in Virtualbox 4.1.2 (during installation I did not select to get updates) I tried to do a full update using muon package manager.
