Public bug reported: Dear reader
I own two desktop installations where I bravely upgraded from feisty to what is to be gutsy, most of it went very smoothly, thow there are some minor things worth mentioning. - On one maschine I had the LANG env variable not set, I guess I hosed something... anyhow, if this is the case, then the upgrade can't be done, as the upgrade tries to connect to "http://.archive";. This might be catched in the respective pythong script with a fallback to the main archive, though it wouldn't solve the root of the problem. - One maschine is mostly connected via wireless, thus if the nm-applet (network manager) isn't working I have a hard time (or have to plug it into wired network - as I'm to lazy to manually configure the wlan stuff) - it happened during upgrade that after the download of the packages finished and the setup begun that the applet vanished, and this network reachability. It came back to service after a reboot, which was also suggested from the upgrade-procedure. - It happaned to me, that when doing one upgrade that the Window Manager vanished, which was a little bit scary and IIRC some applets also crashed during the upgrade - but that also wasn't much of an issue, as it all worked after the reboot. (I basicaly had a screen where only the panel and the package-manager was left) I assume, that as long as the package-manager doesn't crash or something, things will be okay - but if for some reason the upgrade does not complete, I don't know if the system would be in a state to reinitiate the package-manager to finish it's job. regards Philipp ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Possible Upgrade Problem Encounters Feisty->Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
