Public bug reported: Binary package hint: console-setup
System is Xen/xVM domU amd64 lucid, minimal build, no X11. # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 # apt-cache policy console-setup console-setup: Installed: 1.34ubuntu14 Candidate: 1.34ubuntu14 Version table: *** 1.34ubuntu14 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Recently did an aptitude upgrade, and the install hung on installation of console-setup. Did a pstree, and found it seemed to be hung calling plymouth. Killed plymouth process, and install seemed to complete. However, if I do an aptitude reinstall console-setup, I get the same issue. Same if I run from hvc0 or pts/n. # ps -ft hvc0 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 701 1 0 Apr14 hvc0 00:00:00 /bin/login -- root 4378 32560 0 11:10 hvc0 00:00:00 aptitude reinstall console-setup root 32560 701 0 11:07 hvc0 00:00:00 -bash # pstree -pa 701 login,701 -- bash,32560 aptitude,4378 reinstall console-setup dpkg,4585 --status-fd 32 --configure console-setup frontend,4586 -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend... console-setup.p,4761 ... plymouth,4777 --ping {aptitude},4379 # cat /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/xe00vg-root ro ipv6.disable=1 console=hvc0 quiet # strace -p 4777 Process 4777 attached - interrupt to quit clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {180706, 738772316}) = 0 epoll_wait(4, ^C <unfinished ...> Process 4777 detached Still hung after 1 hour. ** Affects: console-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- console-setup installation hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564360 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
