[Bug 366867] Re: input/output error - no applications launch after upgrading to Jaunty

2010-07-23 Thread 1longtime
I never tried 2.6.28-11 again, and I eventually wiped the machine and
installed a later version of Ubuntu from scratch.

I've experienced bugs during an Ubuntu upgrade, but this was by far the
worst-- it completely disabled my machine until I managed a rollback.

This bug was filed a year ago.  I have not experienced this bug with a
new installation.  You may as well close this bug.

[Bug 573318] Re: mysql server will not start

2010-06-03 Thread 1longtime
Hey, not sure why this issue is closed... I don't recall copying a
my.cnf by hand during previous MySQL installations, why is it required
now?

I had MySQL installed via the package at one point, performed a Complete
Remove, and then later performed Install again (all via Synaptic).  I
had the same issue with the MySQL service failing to start until I
manually copied the my.cnf into /etc/mysql/

Failing to properly install after complete removal/re-installation seems
like a bug to me.  Am I missing something?

[Bug 360818] Re: NetworkManager.vpn fails -- nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets

2010-04-07 Thread 1longtime
After a reboot, vpnc works for me...

HOWEVER, the user/group password is randomly forgotten, even when the
GUI option Saved is selected.  Ask every time does not actually ask,
ever.  The only way to use the VPN connection after the passwords are
randomly forgotten is to click Configure VPN and type the passwords
again and set the dropdown to Saved.

Retyping the passwords gets old quick, and I've seen this NoSecrets
issue in Ubuntu for ages (multiple OS installs on different boxes, same
problem).

[Bug 366867] Re: input/output error - no applications launch after upgrading to Jaunty

2009-04-26 Thread 1longtime
My machine is still bricked.  Booting into recovery-mode and open into
root, when I attempt to do a simple touch foo the error response is
read-only file system.

Why would my primary boot drive suddenly become read only?  ...and why
did this occur immediately after upgrading to Jaunty?

When I boot into Gnome, I have sometimes 60 seconds where applications
open normally (including opening a terminal and doing a touch foo
without error).  Within 60 secs, however, I cannot open anything without
the failed to open child process mentioned above.

Unbelievably upsetting.  Some response please?

[Bug 361023] Re: Jaunty: jfs filesystem being mounted read-only

2009-04-26 Thread 1longtime
I found this on a search, and I think my bug may be related.  File
system boots read-only (MOST of the time) or is switched to read-only
after one minute.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/366867

This started occurring immediately after updating to Jaunty (the
official release).  Why would a filesystem suddenly boot read-only?

VERY disappointing to see there has been no action on your bug, since my
bug may be related.  It has made my machine useless.  I have quite a few
nasty things to say about Ubuntu at the moment, because this is not my
first disappointment with an upgrade, but I will hold my words.

This is only occurring in kernel 2.6.28-11-generic.  Everything works
when I boot up using 2.6.27-generic.  I'm glad to have my machine

I guess it's a bug in 2.6.28-11-generic.

[Bug 366867] [NEW] input/output error - no applications launch after upgrading to Jaunty

2009-04-25 Thread 1longtime
Public bug reported:

After what appeared to be a normal upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty, I
have a completely non-functioning installation.

I type in name/password combination and load into Gnome normally and see
the new, spiffy Jaunty desktop background.  At this point, ANY
application I attempt to launch fails with the error popup:

Could not launch '*'
Failed to execute child process # (Input/output error)

...where =Application name (such as Calculator) and
=Executable name (such as gcalctool).

There are some exceptions to this:
Exception A) I can launch a terminal.  About 50% of the time, it opens up a 
frozen terminal that I cannot type into.  When I do have a functioning 
terminal, nothing in the terminal actually works though.  I can cd ~ but 
attempting to run an exectuable gives me the same vague input/output error 
like this:

n...@zeke:~$ /usr/bin/gvim
bash: /usr/bin/gvim: Input/output error

Exception B) Attempting to launch some applications at least flickers
the application for a moment before it either crashes or becomes
invisible.  The applications that do this (rather than simply popping up
the Failed to execute child message above) are Custom Launcher apps.

I used Compiz,with lots of effects turned on, but no hand-modification-
tweaks.  I usually avoid editing config files by hand in general, so
this can be considered a fairly standard installation.

[Bug 366867] Re: input/output error - no applications launch after upgrading to Jaunty

2009-04-25 Thread 1longtime
This was solved by:

1) press ESC during the GRUB bootup
2) select the top recovery mode (ie-- Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2,6,x-generic 
(recovery mode)
3) Recovery Menu: select xfix (press the down arrow to the very bottom of the 
list)
4) watch the magic
5) resume or reboot

Looks like something with Gnome and/or Compiz was borked during the
upgrade to Jaunty.

2009-04-25 Thread 1longtime
I was wrong, the error still occurs and xfix did not solve this.

This allowed a few minutes where custom launcher apps work before they
crash.  Once one crashes, they all crash instantly after starting.
Other non-custom app launchers still fail with previous Failed to
execute child above.

This is still a bug.

2009-04-25 Thread 1longtime
I think I'm just talking to myself, but I really need help.  This is
more than a bug, it's turned my computer into a brick.

There are more errors going on then I can properly record, but here are
some that I've seen.

During bootup:

[  251.026822] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 836705927
...lots of those for different sectors...

Also something about VMWare, no module (I used vmware briefly until I
switch to VirtualBox for simplicity).

During the brief opportunity after logging into Gnome where apps start
without crashing instantly or giving the Failed to execute message, I
started Synaptic, popup window (over the Synaptic Package Manager
background) shows error:

An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E: Unable to write mmap - msync (5 Input/output error)
E: Failed to truncate file - ftruncate (30 Read-only file system)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache-open() failed, please report.

Painful experience so far.  Any ideas?

[Bug 259168] Re: Network Manager unable to connect to PPTP VPN (bad NT-Domain escaping)

2008-11-22 Thread 1longtime
@Alexander Sack RE: 1longtime, your issue is most likely bug 268667

This was the first one I tried and bug 268667 fixed my problem.  Thanks
Alexander.  After trying the suggested fix in that bug, my VPN connects
successfully.

Oddly, when I tried to undo the fix, it continued to connect properly.

@Martin Pitt RE: intrepid-proposed updates

I did an apt-get upgrade with entrepid-proposed sources several days
ago, before  verified the source had updated (and accidentally updated
quite a bit more than I expected... oops).  I just did another apt-get
update/upgrade and found updates for a number of packages, including a
couple of pptp packages.

The VPN problem is still fixed, but because I couldn't rollback the
fixes from bug 268667 we can't be certain that the updates fixed my
issue.

@jmcantrell

Could not find advanced-dialog.c.  I'm not sure how to apply your patch.

Another side-note:  manually adding refuser-eap to ppp options fixed
ONE of my Ubuntu boxes but not the other (the one I've been fighting
with in this thread).  Strange.

Thanks all for the help, but it was a very disruptive bug.  Kinda shakes
the faith a bit...

Any fix for this?

Many users have experienced this bug, Google around and see the numerous
forums.  VPN connections were working fine until I upgraded from Ubuntu

VERY disappointing to find bugs for important services after an upgrade.

2008-11-20 Thread 1longtime
Excuse me, I just read the comments RE: package fix, but it does not fix
the problem..  As a separate forum suggestion, I previously added to my
sources.list (but this did not fix the bug):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu intrepid main

...and after reading the above comments, I also added the intrepid-
proposed to sources.list (but I did not see network-manager updated, I
assume the above network-manager source entry already did that?).

THIS BUG STILL EXISTS.  What can I provide to help fix this?  This VPN
connection worked for half a year until I updated to 8.04 to 8.10.  It
should be marked with high importance, I suspect that many users are
affected.

2008-04-07 Thread 1longtime
Public bug reported:

lots of updates today, so i updated and started the install.

the install halted and warned me that my custom printer config was going
to be overwritten.  fine with me so i click continue.  another prompt
warns me that some packages will be removed (fast-user-switching,
nautilus, alacarte, others that i dont remember maybe ten total). and
the installation eventually halted.  when i did a follow-up update,
update manager warned me that it could only perform a partial upgrade.

when i reboot, login leads me to a brown screen (no X session).  i
checked and found that ubuntu-desktop had been removed during the
process.

i tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and have several errors for
missing dependencies that will not be installed.  (nautilus, alacarte,
i think libgnome was in there)

thats a VERY harsh upgrade bug!


i can provide more info, but i'm noobish, sry
