Update: the boot repair disk fails to boot, because of the PAE bug. Adding forcepae to the boot options does not help either. However, Super Grub2 Disk does boot, recognizes the config and can be used to boot the system. Now I have the safest laptop ever! Nobody can boot it but me! In the previous post I thought that the found filesystems were broken, bu this is not the case. The /boot directory on the / partition is off course empty because the /boot partition was mounted there. Reading this list and different forums on the internet, ot appears that the master boot record and the grub2 install are no longer in sync when / and /boot are on different partitions. I tried a re-install (using synaptic) of the packages grub-pc, grub- pc-bin, and grub2-common. It did not solve the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found
I know a lot has been said already, but I want to add my case just for the record. It just might contain info on what went unexpectedly right or wrong when it shouldn't have. I had a working 13.10 installation on a (pretty ancient but indestructible) Panasonic CF-18 Toughbook. This is one of the devices from the time that PAE was enabled but kept secret. I had modified the grub configuration to show the menu at boot, using the normal way of editing /etc/default/grub and running sudo update-grub. The menu showed, so this worked. No error messages. I had 3 partitions on only one hard drive: /, /boot and swap. I always like to have a separate boot partition in case things go wrong, but reading the comments this has bitten me now. From the grub_rescue prompt, I can barely do anything, but the ls command works and I see that: (hd0,msdos3) contains an EMPTY /boot/grub directory, (hd0,msdos2) contains no files (the swap partition) (hd0,msdos1) contains the images (like vmlinuz-3.8.0-34-generic) in its root directory and a /grub directory, but no /boot directory. Something is definitely broken here! For the record, none of these partitions were formatted with a FAT filesystem. After I did sudo do-release-upgrade, I waited with the reboot, and re- added my third party add-ins. I read that fake-pae was no longer needed, but a kernel option forcepae was, so I removed the repository that provided the fake-pae package, added that option to /etc/default/grub and ran sudo update-grub. No error message there either. My 2 cents: the release updater and update-grub should be able to tell what partition is the boot partition, so a misconfiguration on only one hard drive should be detected. I never manually messed with it, but just followed the installation wizzard when I installed Xubuntu. If the system was misconfigured, it gues that must have happened by either a system upgrade or the update-grub command. In any case, I would certainly expect update-grub to have warned me. Well, the rest you can guess: I shut down the machine in full confidence of an upgrade done well and was left with a system that does not boot anymore. Don't take this too hard, I am a half-power user, so I am not afraid to fix things. I just want to add that I was not using UEFI, not using more than one drive and have not yet (or in the past) repaired the boot process, though I did do some minor configuration in the proper way. So, please take this bug seriously. I is a critical one. By the way: the grub rescue prompt does not know the help command. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1319324] [NEW] Problem report keeps the user in the dark
Public bug reported: When a crash report exists, I am greeted at system start-up with a windows that says: There is a system problem. Do you want to report it now? It does not give any clue about what that problem is. I expect that window to show what problem it is referring to. For example, I had an updating issue with a package from an external repository (MariaDB in my case), which was easily solved by following the suggestions made by apt-get. So there was no issue. However, at the next system start I was confronted with this problem that was not a problem. Only by looking in /var/crash/, I could see that it had to be this issue. Also, this window leaves me the choice between filing a report (bad option in this case) or cancel, which means postponing the report (also a bad option). I would like the opportunity to see that the problem presented at start- up is one I already solved, and NOT report it. Preferably in or from that same start-up window. I managed to delete the problem report by deleting the file in /var/crash/, but that is not exactly newbie- friendly. $ lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 13.10 Release:13.10 $ apt-cache policy apport apport: Installed: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Candidate: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Version table: *** 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-security/main i386 Packages 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319324 Title: Problem report keeps the user in the dark To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1319324/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 463257] [NEW] unhelpful message in upgrading over ssh
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
As this is a message bug only, I think it is a waste of everyone's time
to append logs. So I did not.
I wanted to upgrade an old laptop with a non-working keyboard to the
release candidate of 9.10. It is running 9.04 with LXDE desktop now. It
is a play machine that I use for testing. Ideal for running a realease
candidate. Because of the non-working keyboard, I usually connect
through SSH or XDMCP. Both ways work great.
But when I wanted to upgrade the 9.10 RC, it would not.
I typed over an SSH connection:
sudo update-manager -d
This worked, showed the graphical client (I forward X) and gave me the option
to install 9.10, warned that it was not stable yet, and I acknowledged. The
upgrade started, but immediately stopped with a dialog:
You are running the upgrade over a remote ssh connection with a
frontend that does not support this. The upgrade will abort now. Please
try without ssh.
This is extremely unhelpful. try without ssh is almost never an option
for people who use an SSH connection to upgrade a machine, be it a
virtual, a remote server or a server lacking even the hardware to be a
full desktop.
What I expect from such messages is not to block the user, but to guide
the user. The message suggests that there are frontends that DO support
SSH, but it suggests none of them and even does not give any pointer to
some documentation that can help.
I tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -t
9.10, sudo aptitude full-upgrade and sudo aptitude full-upgrade -t
9.10 with no success either. These ways just do not recognise that
there is a release coming (probably becaused it is not released as
stable yet).
I am upgrading the machine now over XDMCP, which works so far.
Personally, I think this is a lot trickier than doing it over SSH with
X.
But I want to request a more helpful message so the user is guided
toward a solution instead of stopped by the problem. Note that I am not
filing this bug because I think that update-manager -d should support
SSH. I cannot jugde that.
Version info ('lsb_release -rd'):
Description:Ubuntu 9.04
Release:9.04
The version of update-manager is a bit tricky because the upgrade already
started. I get the following output:
$ apt-cache policy update-manager

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: powermanga Base info: Using Xubuntu 9.04 both regular and with proposed (two systems, both have the same issue). Powermanga version: 0.90-dfsg-1 I expect the high scores to be updated after playing a game, but they do not. I think this causes it: The files containing the high scores are only writeable by root.

The files are located in /var/games/powermanga/: powermanga.hi powermanga.hi-easy powermanga.hi-hard The easy one is used with `powermanga --easy` etc. Setting the files to world writeable causes the high scores to be updated as expected. Tested for long playing hours with both normal and easy mode ;) FURTHER INFO: There exists a group games of which the normal user account (the account I created during the Xubuntu installation) is NOT a member. I can imagine that people would want to restrict gaming possibilities and you could set the above files to be only writeable by group games.

I upgraded to 9.04 as well, and it scared the hell out of me. The known problems talk about some intel video cards, but I did not think it would lock up the system that hard. AND in the middle of an upgrade! Nothing reacted: no terminal keys, no CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, nothing. Only the off switch. I finally got things working though by disabling all acceleration in xorg.conf. But no action game runs any longer. Unreal Tournament is barely playable (but the fastest of them all, even though it's a Windows game), and other games (OpenArena, Briquolo) have turned to just watch- and-die games. Again, it was a very instructive experience. But not one for newbies or the faint of heart. I would almost suggest fixing xorg.conf temporarily during an upgrade by disabling hardware acceleration. And fixing it back only after the upgrade has finished.

[Bug 300504] Re: Unhelpful comment for disabled settings
Well, I missed a pointer to where the settings were gone to. Even if the update script migrates more than one device and therefore migrates to more than one place, it is really helpful to tell where those places are. If I had read /etc/default/console-setup in the migration comment, that would be a great search keyword. The beauty of configuration files is that they can contain comments. See the samba config, for example. It is quite verbose and that really helps when you configure an extra share, for example. So if it had said anything like Keyboard settings are now read from /etc/default/console-setup, I would be perfectly happy. The file /etc/default/console-setup is quite verbose already, so it is not hard to adapt it. It may be a bit harsh to file a bug on a comment, but I think it can mean the difference between Ubuntu and Gentoo.

[Bug 300504] [NEW] Unhelpful comment for disabled settings
Public bug reported: When upgrading to Intrepid, the keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf is commented out, and a comment is added: # commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used This leaves the user completely in the dark as to where the HAL is, how it is configured, etc. Furthermore, the new location is known (/etc/default/console-setup) and the settings can in be copied there in some cases. Setting a compose key, for instance, is easy IF you know where to find it. And setting a compose key should not be difficult in my opinion.

[Bug 282010] Re: Intrepid: Full Screen OpenGL Games Not Working With Intel Video Card
Possibly related: I can use full-screen programs (Battle for Wesnoth, Briquolo). Unreal Tournament runs slow after upgrade to Intrepid, but this may be a Wine issue (PSPad runs much slower also, but is not a fullscreen application). However, upon closing a full-screen application, I only see my background image. Like it is on top of everything instead of behind everything. There are no desktop icons, no menu, etc. I run Xubuntu and the right-click menu still works. I can fire up applications, which are started invisibly. I can tell from the fact that some right-mouse clicks show the context menus that belong to these applications. All programs that were open before I started the full-screen application are still open. I can tell by Firefox asking if I want to open the last session. The only way out (that I know of yet) is to kill the X server.

[Bug 298566] [NEW] apache is installed though another web server is already present
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apache The real problem is that there is no such thing as a general web server package. I run The Abyss web server (see http://www.aprelium.com/ ) and always take great care not to install packages that depend on Apache. This probably means that I cannot install packages that would run fine on this web server. Such packages often depend on apache|lighthttpd, which leaves no room for other web servers. And there are a lot of them around. It would be nice if there were an empty package web server that you could install to satisfy dependencies. Also, the upgrade to Intrepid Ibex alas installed apache on my system for no reason. There were no dependencies that needed it. My guess it that this can be blamed on the install recommendations by default policy change. In this case, that policy leads to two web servers fighting each other. Please rethink that policy. Off course, this problem is linked to the absence of the general web server package, as there is no way yet for the package manager to know that I already have a working web server. 1 Release of Ubuntu: Description:Ubuntu 8.10 Release:8.10 2 Version of the package: none. I do not want it. 3 What I expect: being able to tell the package manager that I have a generic, further unknown web server. Not getting an extra web server on a distribution upgrade. 4 What happend instead: I got apache with the upgrade to Intrepid Ibex while I already had another web server running. ** Affects: apache (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- apache is installed though another web server is already present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 201701] Re: Greeter appears to be crashing
I also had this problem after reinstalling my Wacom Bamboo1 tablet. I had it working just fine on Gutsy, but the Hardy upgrade breaks every x.org setting there is. Luckily, I had a backup of my original xorg.conf. After running all the commands on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4785779, Xubuntu would try gdm 3 times and then fail. However, opening a terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1), killing all gdm instances (type ps -eF | grep gdm to see them) and then running startx got me back in a normal desktop situation. WITH the tablet working! Looking at /var/crash, I think it was the pressure applet I downloaded and installed that was the problem. I attached the crash file, as apport-gtk (not apport-qt on Xubuntu) only says it is not an official package.
