[Bug 1088731] Re: sudo apt-get install wine produced an error, exit code 1
As noted above, the problem cam when I executed sudo apt-get install wine I believe the problem was related to the following: At one point, a grey window came up, indicating that there was microsoft code or some such thing, and requiring that I click on a radio button indicating "Yes". I was unable to click on the radio button; I tried. So I killed the process. The problem "debconf, etc." .. has now occurred, every time new software is attempted to be installed. But the software seems to work fine. I've just installed a new linux kernel. My guess is, that I should reboot. Had the "debconf error" not occurred, I believe that that would have been the next step requested by the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088731 Title: sudo apt-get install wine produced an error, exit code 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1088731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
Hmmm... Dear Philip, So it actually is a bug in Ubuntu Thunderbird -- Thunderbird has problems running zimbra email. Also, the messages almost definitely have to do with the lag that i am seeing -- they occur at exactly the same time. Only one thing wrong with that: Thunderbird on my wife's Windows computer has no trouble with exactly the same zimbra mail account. So, if the bug is in Thunderbird, then it's only in Ubuntu Thunderbird. Nikki thought that it was a bug in Ubuntu's Glib. She directed me to emails indicating a similar problem with Firefox and Ubuntu glib -- but that's been fixed. -- Saul On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 10:00 PM, Phillip Susi wrote: > The messages come from glib, but indicate an error in thunderbird.

Re: [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
I just downloaded the new version of ubuntu. (BTW, i have loads of spare memory and disk space). I started Thunderbird in a terminal. Here's what shows in the terminal when I double click on an item; and then I double clicked on another item: saul@NullA:~$ thunderbird (thunderbird:3175): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:3393: signal name `selection_changed' is invalid for instance `0x958b87c0' (thunderbird:3175): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:3393: signal name `selection_changed' is invalid for instance `0x88d090a0' According to Nikki (and it seems very believable to me), this is the source of the bug in Thunderbird -- actually a bug in Glib. (I was hoping it would be fixed in the new version of Ubuntu -- but, no change). Balsa mail works perfectly. (Also, I should note: Thunderbird has no trouble with my gmail account. The problems occur with my zimbra mail account (my business email: z.rochester.edu)) Hope that you can hep, -- Saul On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 11:00 PM, Phillip Susi wrote: > I am unable to reproduce this on 12.10.

Re: [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
Initially this was a question that I posed on Launchpad. I was asked to put the content of .xsessions into a pastebin, as well as the output in a terminal when I started Thunderbird in the terminal. The output in the terminal had the error messages for Glib calls. Nikki from Ubuntu Launchpad told me to close the case with "this solved my problem", and to make a bug report about the Glib problem. I have. BTW, there appears to be a new version of Ubuntu. How can I upgrade to that? Maybe that will solve the problem? -- Saul On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 11:00 PM, Phillip Susi wrote: > I am unable to reproduce this on 12.10.

[Bug 1082728] [NEW] The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
Public bug reported: When I double click on an email in Thunderbird, Thunderbird (correctly) puts a copy of that email in a new tab. But when I delete the new tab, Thunderbird greys; it makes extensive use of the hard disk, causing a large whirling sound, for two or three minutes, before Thunderbird returns to normal (not greyed out). As a result, my Thunderbird is very difficult to use, and is putting far too much demand on the computer. In fact, just single clicking on an email (to read it) often causes Thunderbird to grey, and to whirl the hard disk, for a minute. Something must be wrong with my Thunderbird. I've tried; sudo apt-get install --reinstall Thunderbird -- this did not help. Help much appreciated. -- Saul The Ubuntu/Thunderbird problem described above is caused by a bug in Ubuntu Glib. -- Saul ** Affects: thunderbird (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/1082728 Title: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1082728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
