[Bug 217786] Re: update-manager hangs when installing latest gconf2 in hardy

2008-04-15 Thread Ethan Johnson
Well, I now upgraded gnome-applets-data on its own through Synaptic, and it upgraded without a hitch. It appears that all is now well as far as my machine is concerned, but quite likely the bug (and lots of hung update-managers) are still at large, so it shouldn't be marked as inactive. -- update

None of the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade have been changed for about a week at least, the beginning of the month at most. So, I guess those won't help us. :-( One thing though: I did a force kill of update-manager, and restarted the system. When I tried to bring up synaptic to reinstall all the

I tried doing that, but in Synaptic the "Force Version" thing is grayed out. If I look at the Versions tab of the properties window for either package, I only see the 0.1.18 version listed. Albert Y. C. Lai wrote: > Using aptitude: Tell it to remove liblaunchpad-integration1. It will > report de

I've experienced this same bug, too, just a few minutes ago. Mr. Lai, how did you manage to get the packages downgraded? I can't quite figure out where the option to use an older version is. -- 8.04 beta - two broken packages following 4-4-08 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214080 You rec

Never mind, it turns out that I just needed to set my system to "performance" mode so that it doesn't scale down the CPU clock speed (the apps were running at idle priority). :-) Thus, this is NOT a bug, please delete it! Thanks! -- cpu-intensive apps run slowly in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.n

Public bug reported: CPU-intensive apps seem to be running roughly twice as slow in Ubuntu 8.04 beta (as compared to 7.10 release, with all updates installed). At first I thought it might be the new "Completely Fair Scheduler" thing in the Linux kernel, but the problem persisted even when I used a

Turns out this does *not* only happen when you've first started the computer. It just happened to me again, and I my computer's been on all day. (The problem always happens when the computer is first turned on, as described by other comments--but apparently it will happen at other times, too.) Scr

Confirmed. I'm using 7.10 with all updates installed, and I see this bug sometimes. When I hold my pointer over Recent Documents in the Places menu, I sometimes get a "No Items Found" below all the items in the list. It doesn't happen all the time; just sometimes. I would estimate that it happens a
