i'd like to know if what i experienced on 3 different updates in the last 2 days, is this bug or if something else needs to be reported?
i suck explaining things in detail, but will give it my best shot: all 3 upgrades appeared to freeze at the point: "Preparing libc6". in the bottom of the update window, there is an option to show details with a little arrow thing next to it....i had to click the arrow to reveal the terminal window below, and there i saw that the update/install was actually prompting me to reply to some question (i cannot remember exactly what it was, so i will not try to guess), i needed to reply by saying "ok"....i did that by pressing the "tab" key. that highlighted the word "ok" in the terminal, then i pressed "enter" on my keyboard to complete and continue. the update would not continue unless i replied to the question. it sat, apparently frozen waiting for me to press "show details" and answer the question. there are 2 or 3 more such prompts before the update completes. the good news is....the upgrades went flawlessly after that on all 3 computers: a lenovo T61 thinkpad, a lenovo t410 thinkpad, and a lenovo k330 ideacentre desktop. ...i think the update should open the terminal window automatically when it gets to that point (Preparing libc6?), as a new user will not know enough to open the "show details" window to reveal the prompt and continue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979661 Title: oneiric to precise: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome and falls back to Dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/979661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
