Hey Guys, Thanks a lot deleting the ftp* user resolved this issue. The users are added as a part of pureadmin gui installation, I guess. I am not sure whether this thread will help in address another issue I have related to DVD burn on Lucid. Is there a common tool that can grab all the relevant info for you. Besides strace/message did not give much info about this issue as the linux freezes completely and hard reboot is the only solution.

Shankar, I'm glad there is an easy workaround for you. This isn't the best place to seek guidance for an unrelated question. I'd suggest IRC, the Ubuntu Forums, or a relevant mailing list: IRC: #ubuntu - irc.freenode.net Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/ Mailing Lists: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ -- package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Hello shankar, thanks very much for taking the time to report this bug and help us make Ubuntu better! It would appear that this happened because there was already a user named ftp, but with a group name different than 'ftp'. This is a bug in vsftpd.postinst. It automatically assumes that the group ftp exists. The user should be given the option to run vsftpd as a user/group other than ftp/ftp. Marking as Triaged as it is ready to be worked on. Setting Importance to Low, as most users won't already have an ftp user. ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Tags added: maverick -- package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Also added tag maverick, as it exists in maverick as well as lucid. -- package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
