I've encountered a possibly related problem doing a distribution upgrade from Xubuntu 7.10 to Xubuntu 8.04 on an old Sony PCG-F280 laptop with some upgrades (PII-366, 128MB RAM). The last block in the terminal window of dist-upgrade is:
Setting up belocs-locales-bin (2.4.2.2ubu Setting up locales (2.7.9-4) ... Installing new version of config file /et Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... Sorry the terminal lines are incomplete; it does not seem possible to widen the dist-upgrade window to see the rest. It has been stuck at this point for at least an hour that I've been watching it, but it has probably been stuck here between 6 and 8 hours total (the upgrade was running overnight). Top shows that the localedef program is active, using between 75% and 80% of CPU. Swap is being used, but only about a third of it. This machine was set up using the Xubuntu 7.10 alternate CD, and it did not experience any undue delays during either initial install or fetching of updates. -- [hardy] generating locales stalls on 64mb ram https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202959 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
