Steve, If you can reproduce it reliably it would be a big help if you could get an strace and pstree output as per Michael Vogt's request higher up. You can find instructions for strace here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Strace. I'm still looking for pstree. -- "distribution upgrade" hangs during upda

[Bug 186465] Re: "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy

I can confirm that this bug is *not* fixed. I can reproduce it 100% of the time on my machine. "update-manager -d" causes the GUI to hang. How do I run strace and pstree, could you point me to detailed directions? I'd be happy to run some test code for you as well. Just let me know what to do. --

Re: [Bug 186465] Re: "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy

I can certainly reproduce this in the update manager gui. I am already on 8.04 though. I loaded it from the CD on a freshly wiped hard drive last week. Tell me what to do if you want me to trace something. I am a newbie but know how to open the terminal. pw On Mon, 2008-04-07 at 19:08 +,

Thanks for your bugreport. If anyone can still reproduce this, I would be interessted in a strace and a pstree and if the error is reproducable. If it is, I would like to sent you some test code. Thanks, Michael ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Undecided St
