Sorry, it's actually gdbus that is soft locking ** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => glib2.0 (Ubuntu)

[gdbus:2878] Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is a bug report about errors during the upgrade process. I don't know whether or not my samba installation was working immediately before the upgrade; the windows box that was intended to be a client died and has not been replaced. Don't believe my answers to the forced questions. *** My ubuntu system locks up regularly. Bugs I've reported about this get closed for inattention, after being ignored, and queries about how to do basic debugging get the same treatment, so I just power cycle whenever it happens again. This time the lock up happened while the GUI upgrade-everything-to- latest tool was running. When I power cycled the box to recover, the system was unusable - flashing "system problem detected" popups, none staying stable long enough to respond. ssh + "sudo apt-get update" + "sudo apt-get upgrade" pointed me to "sudo dpkg --configure -a" That command reported numerous errors - I don't know which of them are "normal" for this system, but hidden by the GUI, and which are new. But it got the system semi-usable from the GUI, so now I'm clicking on "yes, report it" for the many pop-ups, of which this is one. FWIW, samba is one of the ones "dpkg --reconfigure -a" complained about.
