InHisName | good morning to you all | 12:11 |
ChinnoDog | morning | 13:08 |
Samuraialba | Good bacon to all! | 16:20 |
InHisName | Hey Guys, I have software update running and it says: "Installing Updates" "Running post-installation trigger dpkg-exec" Details --> 95% completed and has been stuck there for hours/days now. What to do about this ? | 17:11 |
Samuraialba | Not sure, man | 17:48 |
Samuraialba | I have no clue | 17:48 |
Samuraialba | This is unfortunately, a Windows Shop :( | 17:48 |
Samuraialba | I'm running Ubuntu in aVM and I'll see if I can replicate | 17:48 |
InHisName | I doubt it. Something's gone wrong. Just want to know what to do the make recovery least difficult. | 17:49 |
ChinnoDog | InHisName: Can you expand the dialog to see a command prompt waiting for input? | 17:56 |
ChinnoDog | I see those sometimes when I update a package that is complaining about a customization I did. | 17:56 |
InHisName | The "Details" shows only a progress bar. No command line to type input. | 17:56 |
InHisName | Title is "Software Updater" | 17:57 |
ChinnoDog | I would kill the process tree and then run apt to fix the database | 17:57 |
ChinnoDog | and then you can try the update again | 17:57 |
InHisName | Can it do a nice recovery from a FIRM power down and then a restart ? | 17:57 |
ChinnoDog | It isn't Windows. Fix your file system before you shut down. :-) | 17:58 |
InHisName | True, its Ubuntu | 17:58 |
InHisName | What to fix ? | 17:59 |
ChinnoDog | The package database. The next time you run apt after killing the update it will tell you to run a command to repair the database | 17:59 |
ChinnoDog | Then it will check your packages, run the triggers that were not run before, and help you add/remove packages so it isn't borked anymore. | 17:59 |
InHisName | I would do this right after rebooting ? | 18:00 |
ChinnoDog | You don't need to reboot | 18:00 |
ChinnoDog | Do it now, without rebooting | 18:00 |
InHisName | What commands to run ? | 18:00 |
ChinnoDog | use killall to take down the process tree | 18:01 |
InHisName | Do now ? with this panel still open? There is NO "X" button and "cancel" is grey. | 18:01 |
ChinnoDog | Then run apt. I don't know if you need a command to get it to tell you to fix stuff. | 18:01 |
ChinnoDog | Do it from a command line | 18:01 |
ChinnoDog | I need to eat lunch. bbiab | 18:02 |
InHisName | Could not get a lock, Is another process using it ? | 18:03 |
InHisName | Seems that this stuck panel is blocking usage of apt-get system. | 18:04 |
ChinnoDog | so kill it | 19:06 |
ChinnoDog | InHisName: did you fix it? | 19:25 |
ChinnoDog | One of these days I need to learn to use busybox to recover after screwing up my fstab | 21:43 |
waltman | Alternatively, you could stop screwing up your fstab. :) | 22:26 |
ChinnoDog | That too. I should use mount options that actually exist. | 22:32 |
jthan_ | Seems to me that you just got burned, ChinnoDog | 22:32 |
=== jthan_ is now known as jthan | ||
ChinnoDog | jthan-- | 22:33 |
jthan | PennBot is a lie. | 22:33 |
