Do you have system monitor installed ? check your applications bar under system --(second one down, not preferences) -- the file should be there near the package manager sorry I am sketchy about the names... I am in (choke - wheeze, gasp) Windows Vista -64 sp1, and I just could not get the actual names outta my poor befuddled brain ;-) Once that is running, watch for 2 (Open Office) files that seem to run in the background at all times when Ubuntu is running one is named soffice.bin, and the other name slips my memory :( . then restart the upgrade. Every time the upgrade screeches to a halt, look at system manager, right click each of the 2 files and choose kill. when that is done close the warning boxes and continue the upgrade. Since these files reappear after each part of the upgrade is done, you will have to repeat this action ad-nauseum, until all OO upgrades are through Hope this helped ---Sam Saverio J Marasco Blue Juniata Consulting Mifflintown, PA 17059 Working with computers since 1972 Jesus is the Rock of my salvation, I put my life completely in his hands --- On Mon, 3/1/10, Vicke vkent0...@aol.com wrote: From: Vicke vkent0...@aol.com Subject: Re: [Bug 450569] Re: package openoffice.org-emailmerge 1:3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: To: sammorx...@yahoo.com Date: Monday, March 1, 2010, 5:08 PM Can you tell me wha that is?

Install and use System Monitor. You will find it in System --Administration of the Menu Bar. This program will show a real time view of processes running. It helps here if you have 2 monitors working. Every time you hit a roadblock in the installation you will notice 2 processes related to OpenOffice have re-spawned. Kill them (I believe you right-click and choose kill) and then tell installation to continue. Unfortunately this tedium lasts for at least 5 cycles or more. It seems that every patch or program restarts OpenOffice , tries to install and then says Oops - Open Office is running, Hold It ! Wait-a-Minit! sheesh It does the job.

[Bug 373972] [NEW] upgrade to 9.04 from within 8.10 borked
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upgrade-system I was working in Ubuntu 8.10. I always download updates asap. Then I saw the message a new release 9.04 available, do you want To upgrade ? (paraphrased). I answered affirmative and went through the upgrade process. When a dialog box appeared wanting to restart system I did so. My boot menu now said 9.04 rather n 8.10 (ie Grub was working). However when I clicked on the first choice (standard) the screen flashed 3 times (2 was normal for earlier versions). Usually on the third tryy I would ger familiar brown login screen. In this case 9.04 booted with the boot splash screen and animated bar underneath but it came up with a dark 3/8 (ewag) strip at the screen top with pink dots and lines scattered thru it. It flashed the third time and then the stripe was repeated along with an overlapping row of circular Ubuntu logos and the word Ubuntu repeatedly across the screen. Under that were non uniform green dashes. The Ubunto words and logos were fuzzy to the point of being almost illegible. The 3 finger salute did nothing. But tapping the power key once eventually got the Ubunto shutdown splash with animated bar.. I tried rebooting and used the repair mode to attempt to fix packages and the X-server. I am just learnng the command line stuff. It is a bit different that Sco Openserver, but blessedly not as archaic. essentially nothing worked, so HELP (:-) There does not seem to be a way to repair a botched install from an install CD. I did try the alt-F2 and other suggestions (alt install cd) but everything wants to rewrite the whole partition and blow away my data. Sigh.
