| mishehu | ugh. I don't get it. every single time I install 12.04 x86_64 on my box, when I try to install updates from update manager, it hangs forever and never completes (perl being the process that is causing the system to hang) | 03:30 |
|---|---|---|
| mishehu | and then everything is fubared and I end up having to reinstall. | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | mishehu, have you tried updating from the command line? | 03:33 |
| mishehu | tgm4883: nope | 03:37 |
| mishehu | it's stuck, I'm going to have to reload again | 03:37 |
| tgm4883 | mishehu, The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. | 03:57 |

| superm1 | mishehu: try expanding the little triangle when that happens | 05:11 |
| superm1 | i bet it's debconf waiting on something | 05:11 |
| superm1 | i seem to recall a bug like that being filed | 05:11 |
| mishehu | superm1: dkpg is running, it's waiting on a forked perl process, and the perl process is stuck on read() | 05:51 |
| mishehu | I straced it | 05:51 |
| superm1 | mishehu: yeah debconf uses perl, and if it's waiting on a read() it could be that it wants user input but hte dialog wasn't expanded | 13:15 |
| superm1 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/979661 | 13:16 |
| superm1 | that's the bug | 13:16 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #979661 “oneiric to precise: debconf: unable to initialize f...” : Bugs : “update-manager” package : Ubuntu | 13:16 |
| superm1 | so if you don't yet have that update it might be hitting you | 13:16 |
| mishehu | superm1: thanks man. I'll check out the full bug report a little later on today | 14:23 |
| mishehu | superm1: you still in ATX ? | 14:23 |
| Shadow__X | HLS seems to be fixed | 14:39 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: yes it is, guess you didn't get my message about that | 18:07 |
