(copying text from my LP bug[1]) Hello
I was about to do a distribution upgrade from 8.10 latest to 9.04 alpha yesterday. I started it via a remote GDM session (which seems to run over SSH). I got a warning that the upgrade might fail and that a second sshd was started on port 9004. Well, probably nothings going to happen I thought. After downloading all packages and upgrading for maybe 5-10 minutes my GDM session froze. I was unable to contact the client that I was upgrading, didn't even respond to ping. When I was able to check the remote client out physically I noticed that my session previously active was still running. I couldn't use anything though, nothing was possible to start. I tried to restart X but it didn't start again. I could see lots of segfaults in dmesg and ifconfig showed that there was no eth0 any more. My suggestion: Make the warning a LOT more scary! It took me a while to repair the system and my upgrade probably isn't that good because it's done mostly via aptitude and not update-manager. 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/322482 Rgds -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
