Q-FUNKhas anybody else encountered a situation where gdm stalls after selecting the user from the face browser and then never launches the gnome session?12:36
coz_Q-FUNK,  not that exactly but  withouty fail... it takes sometimes 3 or 4 resets of the system to actually boot to gdm h ere.. not sure if it is related to scsi drives  yet12:37
Q-FUNKcoz_: ok. different issue, then. here, booting works flawlessly, but gdm stalls.12:38
coz_Q-FUNK,   yeah understood... but aparenlty there are boot issues  :)12:39
coz_Q-FUNK,  out of curiosity,,, does this happen on each boot?  doest it solve itself if you keep rebooting?12:41
coz_resolve  rather12:41
Q-FUNKcoz_: it has happened ever since I upgraded from maverick.  it never resolved itself. I ended up having to install lxdm from console just to be able to login.12:43
penguin42Q-FUNK: I'd go and try digging in some logs to see if there is anything showing up; if you select one of the failsafe sessions does it let you login?12:45
coz_what is the status of fixing that "grab" handle?   here on some applications, it is a permanently visible  bug   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/grabhandle.png13:12

valkyriehello, does natty have a live dvd?13:27
HewI've been trying to upgrade to natty for over a week now, but I keep getting the following message: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.13:38
HewI can't see what the problem could be, anyone else heard of this issue?13:38
penguin42how have you been trying to do the upgrade?14:09
sidneiHew, check the log file it has more info14:11
sidneiHew, i cant remember the filename, but i its in /var/log/14:12
Hewpenguin42, update-manager -d14:12
penguin42Hew: OK, and is that the whole error you get or is there any more? Do you have any PPAs installed?14:13
Hewsidnei, I have looked through /var/log/dist-upgrade but can't find anything useful, like an error on a package or something. I thought before alpha 2 maybe it was xorg breakage, but that can't be the case anymore.14:14
Hewpenguin42, sure I have local packages, I have tried the upgrade with all third party repos turned off. If it said what package was causing the problem I would be able to do something about it.14:15
HewI already went and undid my xorg-edgers packages, but that didn't help14:15
penguin42Hew: did you use ppa-purge to do that?14:15
Hewno, I have not heard of that14:15
penguin42Hew: It's a program (that I think xorg-edgers installs?) that can be used for removing ppa's - it does a good job cleaning up14:16
penguin42it's in the ppa-purge package14:17
penguin42Hew: The other thing you could try is do-release-update -d from the command line, I wonder if it will give you more debug14:17
Hewthanks penguin42 I'll try that now14:18
Hewpenguin42, just the same messages14:30
HewCalculating the changes14:30
HewCalculating the changes14:30
HewCould not calculate the upgrade14:30
penguin42hmph14:32
penguin42Hew: OK, in that case I'd try removing any other ppa stuff you have, especially any library or core stuff; don't just remove the ppas from the sources.list; you need to downgrade the packages to the standard ones14:33
Hewpenguin42, I am removing all local packages now.. sucks14:34
andreasI crippled my system with trying to update to python2.7 today. I seem to hit Bug 689615 but I have no idea how to fix it.14:38
ubottuLaunchpad bug 689615 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "pycompile fixes needed for maverick" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68961514:38
andreasI now forced dpkg to remove all 2.6 python packages, but the configure for python2.7-minimal still doesn't work14:39
andreasIt complains: "python or pycompile not found in public_modules.rtinstall hook."14:40
andreasDoes anyone know a way to fix this mess?14:40
penguin42Hew: It's probably just one package with a weird dependency14:40
Hewpenguin42, I'd think if it was one package it would be clear from the error displayed, or at least from the logs, what the problem was14:44
penguin42Hew: Yeh I'm susrprised you're not seeing more logs14:45
Hewall the logs show is the upgrade logic solving all the issues, then it ends and doesn't seem to have worked14:45
penguin42Hew: Can you put one of those logs in a pastebin?14:46
HewI've removed all local packages now so I'm attempting to upgrade again, will post when this one fails..14:47
Hewpenguin42, whoa it looks like it's working!14:49
penguin42wahey!14:49
Hewmaybe it was medibuntu upgraded packages..14:49
Hewpenguin42, thanks for your help!14:49
penguin42no problem14:49
