I concur with Anne, or at least with the solution. I had recently run software-updater under quantal (beta), and foolishly clicked on the partial upgrade option. The system no longer booted properly. tty7 was left with boot messages, but no logon prompt. I logged in under tty1 and ran
> startx& and this gave me my desktop icons, but no unity plugin stuff (launcher & status bar). I also ran > unity& but this complained about no display being set (default = 0 ???), and maybe something about looking for a "core" library. Anyways, I also had been using apt-get to update upgrade dist-upgrade no no avail. So when I ran... > sudo apt-get purge update-manager > sudo apt-get install update-manager and rebooted, I was pleasantly surprised that everything was working again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053292 Title: update-manager crashed with RuntimeError in /usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py: Gtk couldn't be initialized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1053292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
