Ubuntu Studio on a Sony PCG-GRT815M upgraded from earlier versions (at least 2 major upgrades)
in 8.04 I am having this same problem. However, I found that as a workaround, killing the sudo process and trying to perform the update again got the password prompt. Today, after applying kernel patches etc from yesterday (27 May 2008) batch, now that workaround isn't working either. trying to start update manager from a root shell gives "cannot connect to display". Which is fair enough I guess. It looks to me like Synaptic is broken, I can't even start Synaptic in the administration window, it hangs too. and trying to start it in a shell gives "cannot open display" I suppose I can work around this with playing with X but it might be helpful to check this. thanks -- Update manager could hang when user wants to perform update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234879 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
