In trying to do the work requested for the report, it took a different turn. General sequence is still correct, with the following caveat: - our DNS server added a CNAME record to the truncated UDP reply, bringing the size to over 512 bytes The response is well formed, just too big. Since

I had a similar issue with Ubuntu Gnome after upgrading to 14.10. Had a double mouse pointer, but only on the main screen, not on the two other screens. Disabled screens one by one and renabled them and the problem was solved. Don't know if this is related to your problem, seems more like a gnome

Same problem here and Ilja's workaround fixed it. I think apt might delete these files and try again when this error happens. As this seems to be easy to fix automatically, I think apt should be able to fix it without any user interaction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

@ Julio A. Garcia Lopez Well, you blame Canonical for not updating Kubuntu, which I think is kind of unfair. Canonical is responsible for Ubuntu. Kubuntu is more a community project supported by Canonical. Of course you can have a try with Debian, at least then there is no company at all to

If I understand it correctly, having one zombie process running is not much to worry about. It does not consume memory anymore. It only uses one entry in the process table. So if you have 1 zombie, you only have one process ID less available to start new processes. Unless you're running thousands

Well, aren't there enough posts above that state which version works? I recommend reading at least the top and bottom of a bug report to see what it is about and if there is already a solution for a bug before posting. If one did this, I doubt it would be possible to miss the version which works.

Thanks chrstophe for the reply. As hardy is LTS and should be supported until April 2011, I thought security patches should be included in the recent packages. And I can't dist-upgrade this server as it's a vServer. My home server is running lucid, though (and therefore affected with this bug).
