Re: aptitude still running after terminal crash
On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 10:40:11AM +0200, Guy Marcenac g...@posteurs.com was heard to say: While doing a safe-upgrade, my remote term crashed. When I relog into the system, the files are locked and I can see a running safe-upgrade in the background, likely waiting for an input. I am afraid of consistency problems if I kill the process and I don't know how to get the control back on this update process. Is aptitude the only process running, or is it waiting on a dpkg subprocess?

Usually aptitude should have been killed too. Did you, by chance, use screen? That would be quite good, because you could simply reattach. Please try `screen -ls` and `screen -rd` if you used screen. If not, use screen now. However, if you did not use screen you probably don't have another chance then to kill aptitude. I wouldn't worry to much about inconsistencies, since you already have them now. Just kill it and try running it again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

If that does not work send a SIGKILL. BTW: Please don't CC me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
