Public bug reported: This is my first or second update after a (very smooth!) upgrade to Kubuntu 13.10. The updates icon appeared in the System Tray, I clicked and the new muon-updater appeared, offering ~90MB of updates. When I clicked to install I got the common prompt about additional packages (kernel ones in this case), I confirmed that.
It started downloading. The window looked a little strange (see attached screenshot), the items in the [More...v] menu were grayed out, but it seemed OK so I went back to playing GTA V :) Many hours and deaths later I returned to find the updater window looked more or less unchanged (see attached), it's at "Loading Software List" which is I think where it was hours before. No progress indicated. According to `ps -alx -w -w` the muon-updaer process is stuck in F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND 1 1000 19828 1649 20 0 783196 93216 poll_s Sl ? 10:30 /usr/bin/muon-updater I ran `sudo strace -p` and it's occasionally reading and writing to fd 3 and stuck on recvfrom 7 (a socket). I'll attach the strace. The fds are: % sudo ls -l /proc/19828/fd/[37] lrwx------ 1 skierpage skierpage 64 Oct 26 04:39 /proc/19828/fd/3 -> anon_inode:[eventfd] lrwx------ 1 skierpage skierpage 64 Oct 26 04:39 /proc/19828/fd/7 -> socket:[1770872] But it looks like the update actually did complete. /var/log/dpkg.log has a bunch of "status installed" packages from an hour or so after I started the update, the last one is 2013-10-26 04:41:23 status installed initramfs-tools:all 0.103ubuntu1.1 and there's a yellow [^o] "A System Restart is required" icon is in the system tray. So I think the update did complete OK, muon-updater just isn't showing it. I clicked the yellow restart icon and nothing happened. ** Affects: muon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "appearance of hung muon-updater" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245061/+attachment/3892371/+files/13.10_muon_hang.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245061 Title: muon-updater stuck at Loading Software List To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon/+bug/1245061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
