[Bug 87158] Re: vesafb automatically loaded while blacklisted

2010-08-31 Thread Alex James
Not sure we should really call this a bug. This behaviour results from initramfs-tools.conf containing the line 'MODULES=most' which includes all sorts of unnecessary things by default, maybe good for a livecd but perhaps not for an installation. A better behaviour would be 'MODULES=dep' which only

Also, should update-initramfs be checking the blacklist before including modules? That sort of seems like something desirable. -- vesafb automatically loaded while blacklisted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which i

This problem also occurs on my recently updated intrepid ibex system, so the error persists there. Today I upgraded to Jaunty, so hopefully this problem disappears as per Walter_Wittel above, but I'm always concerned when problems get fixed and we don't know why because they can then pop back up w

OK, I think I've got it fixed. apt-get is at least downloading and apparently reinstalling kubuntu-desktop anyway! In summary the two packages I needed from backports to fix this were: kdebase-workspace-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1_all.deb kdelibs5-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu2~intrepid2_all.deb I manua

It apparently depends on a version of kdelibs5-data which isn't available via even with the backports repository enabled (do you have to specify the backport version?). Manual installation via r...@amaterasu:/etc/apt# dpkg -i /home/user/Desktop/kdelibs5-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu2~intrepid2_all.deb fixed

Aha. I tried installing the kde-window-manager explicitly, which then reported a similar 'Depends:...' error, and the same for that dependency until discovering the apparent bottom line: libplasma3: Depends: kdelibs5-data (= 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu2~intrepid2) but 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is to be ins

This problem also appears in the forums at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7013162 There they report a number of the KDE packages being selected by adept for 'upgrade' which results in a number of other apparently unrelated packages being removed. Could this improper dependency listing

I believe I'm having the same/similar problem. Adept fired up suggesting I uninstall some kde packages. Thinking they would be replaced with new ones, I clicked 'apply' and it subsequently uninstalled itself and most of my kde installation (konqueror, dolphin, kdelibs, etc). Similar problem when tr

I'm pretty crippled at the moment by this bug, running elinks since firefox is whining about some absent libraries and konqueror has been uninstalled. Similar errors as above, but adept uninstalled many packages including itself in the process. Attempting reinstall of kubuntu-desktop results in:
