Hi Tormod,

The package is certainly not update-manager, since it was not open at
the time, unless it was somehow still in the memory. It was in fact
synaptic that crashed, after failing to download the WLAN stuff.

The checksum did not match:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ md5sum /dev/cdrom
5c678a2a0a7456775107068be5ee8c21  /dev/cdrom
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

81a5c425f5b004a7e24b8be15f925371 *intrepid-desktop-i386.iso

81a5c425f5b004a7e24b8be15f925371 torrent (which I used)

I do not think necessarily that this was the problem though. I switch the CD 
out of the tray before the download (or installation?) finished, to replace it 
with an aptoncd I had previously created. I had problems before with rebooting 
into the 2.6.27-2.2 kernel (the paravirtualisation thing). To avoid this I must 
make sure I am fully up to date in 2.6.27-1 and boot into that kernel, and 
manually download all 2.6.27-2.3 stuff and do $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a and 
install or update missing dependencies, and reboot into 2.6.27-2.3 afterwards. 
I did not realise that synaptic would had to read from my CD for these 
packages, since it was already downloading packages from the web. Now that I 
know this, I will redownload the CD anyway, although it works fine.

Hi there, I think it is impossible to describe this bug on a single bug
per bug report basis. Could you please check out my post about BIOS
settings being altered, possibly by are in relationship with the
consolekit bug(s)?

The reason I initially described this bug as a potential security risk,
is due to the fact that it did lead under a previous form to a freeze up
of synaptic, leaving my password visible on screen for more than 2 hours
(see slideshow).

Since this bug is difficult to invoke on purpose, but often occurs and
leaves my system unrepairable about every three days, forcing me to
reinstall without partitioning, I think it is better to bundle my
experiences on the ubuntu forum first:
