Public bug reported: When updating my Xubuntu 16.04.2 system today the upgrade from libepoxy0 1.3.1-1 to libepoxy0 1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 caused my system to hang right before the login screen.
Unfortunately since this was a complete system lock up I can't provide any logs as I had to restore the entire root partition from backup. Since I can't get system recovery mode to work (it's been broken for a few years and times out within two minutes) it doesn't give me enough time gather any logs before it exits. I understand the system recovery problem is known, but I've tried all the solutions I could over the years, on multiple systems, and just can't get it to work without timing out anymore. In any case I verified the problem was libepoxy0 by applying all the available updates except libexpoxy0 and rebooting without any problems. I then allowed the upgrade of libepoxy0, libepoxy0:i386, and libeepoxy- dev and the system hung at boot as previously described. I went through the same procedure twice to confirm. I'm running kernel 4.9.31-040931-lowlatency with AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 patched drivers, with all system updates. If you need more information please contact me and I'll get you anything I can. But as I said, since the system locks up I'm not sure what else I can garner. lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 apt-cache policy libepoxy0: libepoxy0: Installed: 1.3.1-1 Candidate: 1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 Version table: 1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages *** 1.3.1-1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: libepoxy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698233 Title: New libepoxy0 causes hang at boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libepoxy/+bug/1698233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
