Maybe not related - but On the machine that works correctly I have 2 parallel installs of lucid, exactly the same except one's on nouveau, the other nvidia-current.
Both were a couple of days behind updates, inc. the 18 kernel ect. On the one that's currently working fine all the available updates where done in one session, took 2 runs thru the update manager, then a reboot and all is well. On the other I just brought it forward, but held back gnome-control- center, ect., did a restart, finished the gnome and python, ect. updates, still holding back gnome-control-center. After a restart updated gnome-control-center and the 2 dep. packages - gnome- appearance-properties won't open and segfaults as described in this bug. -- gnome-appearance-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
