Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
1.DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
2. The problem appears to be with compiz-gnome 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2. The update
process has stalled and there are some incorrect memory pointers. I suspect if
I reboot I will have no machine.
3. compiz-gnome:
Installed: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2
Version table:
1:0.7.2-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
*** 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4. Just doing a routine update and dist-upgrade, but now it is stalling.
5. There are some nasty messages on the screen and apt now can't seem to
connect to the repositories.
Part of the problem might have been that I still had some gutsy
repositories enabled as it was transitional.
There are 3 crash reports, but I am attaching the gnome-compiz one.
There is also an nvidia one and screensaver.
Interface is not letting me upload the crash report, but I can e-mail it
if required.
Here is a snipit:
