[Bug 855793] Re: Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon
Kubuntu will remain a joke as long as it continues to push out software that is broken by default. Muon may be great software, but it should not be the default as long as it's broken! How can we evangelize Kubuntu when it can't even update itself in a fresh install? This is the FOURTEENTH release of Kubuntu, and UPDATING is broken by default. This is just disgraceful. Someone needs to have the AUTHORITY to step in and say, This software is not ready for release, and either delay the Kubuntu release or keep the broken software out of the release. KPackageKit may not have been great, but it WORKED. This is one of the pitfalls of having inflexible time-based releases. Debian wouldn't push out a release if something as basic as updating was broken. I don't care if Kubuntu 11.10 became 11.11 or 11.12 or 12.01-- it shouldn't be pushed out the door until it's WORKING! It would even be better to skip a release than to push out one that's broken by default! What's the problem? Why doesn't someone prevent the release from going out until it's ready? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855793 Title: Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/855793/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I also saw this. It's a pity that both Apper (Bug# 905415) and Muon are broken for system upgrades. Shouldn't this be attributed to qapt or something like that?

[Bug 855793] Re: Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon
At this point I would like to confirm this bug. Updates are currently impossible after a fresh install of Kubuntu. This does not apply to the beta, but also the final version. I had this problem on both a Thinkpad laptop and a couple Virtualbox installs (to confirm and reconfirm). Muon will just stall at some point. You need to kill Muon and run sudo dpkg --configure -a on the command line. Does this happen every time, or are there instances where an upgrade will work?

I am sorry, I should have been more clear. When I wrote Kubuntu 11.10, I meant a fresh install of the final version from Kubuntu 11.10 ISO to a VMware Player.

Similar for me also. I installed two .iso images using VMware Player. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 successfully and was able to perform all software updates.

Second try. I deleted my Virtual Machines, re-installed from the .iso, and tried this solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11558447 Step 1: Open a Konsole and type: sudo apt-get update (I had to supply my password) sudo apt-get upgrade (It asked me if I was willing to give it space to download the updates, and I said Y. It appeared to run successfully and after some 10+ minutes of updates flying by, it gave me back my bash prompt) exit (to close the Konsole) Step 2: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player) Step 3: Seems to work, and this time the notifier tells me only six security updates are available. So, I cross my fingers and do the graphical update with Muon. It appeared to be successful, and I closed Muon and noticed the System Notification Helper reported that A system restart is needed to complete the update process.
