Package: systemd Version: 215-8 Hallo
I tried to upgrade from wheezy to jessie but had problems because the install hung several times e.g. when upgrading snmpd and cups. The last program in the process tree always was systemd-tty-ask-password-agent. I tried it on xterm as well as on plain tty1 console but never got any prompt for a password nor could I understand why a password query would be needed. chammers@sys-251:~$ ps faxu USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND ... chammers 18501 0.0 0.0 7360 5092 pts/1 Ss 15:33 0:00 \_ /bin/bash root 20804 0.0 0.0 6240 3176 pts/1 S 15:33 0:00 | \_ su root 20815 0.0 0.0 5652 3432 pts/1 S 15:33 0:00 | \_ bash root 23011 0.1 0.3 37896 30564 pts/1 S+ 15:34 0:00 | \_ apt-get -f install root 32120 0.0 0.4 40716 37648 pts/4 Ss+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 36 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --remove printer-driver-gutenprint:i386 cups:i386 libgtk2.0-dev:i386 libpango1.0- root 32121 0.0 0.0 2240 592 pts/4 S+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/printer-driver-gutenprint.postrm remove root 32122 0.0 0.0 2240 1528 pts/4 S+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d cups force-reload root 32139 0.0 0.0 2240 1560 pts/4 S+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /bin/sh /etc/init.d/cups force-reload root 32160 0.0 0.0 6640 2832 pts/4 S+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /bin/systemctl force-reload cups.service root 32161 0.0 0.0 2952 1532 pts/4 S+ 15:37 0:00 | \_ /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch chammers@sys-251:~$ date Mo 29. Dez 15:41:18 CET 2014 My upgrade attempts were as follows: * booted wheezy with linux-image-3.16-bpo into console mode as nvidia drivers were not found * added wheezy to /etc/apt/sources.list, updated and installed just the new kernel. Rebootet again into console mode. * Tried upgrading only xserver-xorg-driver-nvidia but as that had too many dependencies, went for "apt-get upgrade". * Encountered the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent problem. * Managed to get X11+KDE running again and tried apt-get upgrade on xterm ("konsole" program). Encounred same system-tty-ask-password-agent problem again, this time on package snmpd. I temporarily solved the hanging process using "killall -9 systemctl" several times quickly after another. Did not yet finish the installation process... tschüss, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
