[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
Kevin, i'm glad you managed to resolve things. I will close this bug report. In the end, it's still unclear to me: what were the starting conditions that caused this problem? Was something wrong with your configuration, or is there actually a bug in the upgrade process? ** Changed in: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
Starting conditions: 1) Bad syntax in /etc/default/locale was en_US needed to be LANG=en_US 2) Bad file in /var/lib/locales/supported.d, which is scanned for shell scripts and filtered only lightly. My bad file was treated as a script and failed miserably. It was actually an artifact of previous debugging attempts, the output of script(1). Maybe only (1) was original. By itself, it stopped X from coming up on reboot, because /etc/init.d/gdm was stopped by the failure of en_US to be a shell command, and stopped a number of other packages from configuring properly. So: no bug in upgrade, but if anyone else is as error-prone as I seem to be, maybe some (more) sanity checks would be a good idea.

I think the error message to look at is: dpkg: error processing locales (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The post-installation script is: /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst Try renaming it to something else, so that dpkg doesn't find it, and try the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' again? -- dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
I found it. It's a tiny script that just calls locale-gen. I commented that out and did the aptitude reinstall locales which now looked clean. Of course it left behind a bunch of unconfigured packages. Moreover, when I manually ran locale-gen, it failed again in the same way. I even did a aptitude reinstall belocs-locales-bin to reinstall locales-gen, but this had the same sort of failure that locales did orignally. So did another package chosen for its short name: lsb. It appears I'll have to solve the mystery of locale-gen. This reports a number of errors, then has a failure of sed(1). A typescript is attached. Just in case: here's a quick checksum: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # sum /usr/sbin/locale-gen 30903 7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # ** Attachment added: Typescript of locale-gen failing http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15624526/typescript -- dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
The immediate problem turned out to be a stray file in /var/lib/locales/supported.d, namely a typescript file that got there from one of my attempts to debug something else. It also turns out that locale-gen looks at all files in that directory, and its filters don't catch that a typescript is the wrong thing. Removing the file, and running aptitude reinstall lsb the system still appears to be miscofigured at least a little. /etc/default/locale contains en_US, which is reported as not found. This has to be my fault too. I thought the first line of my /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local covered that: en_US ISO-8859-1 What should it be? I'm also getting invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action reload failed. This may relate to my difficulty getting X up on reboot, but when I run it manually, the error reported goes back to /etc/default/locale. I would really like a locale en_US to make it similar to the systems at work. That said, the reinstall seems to have worked, and it automatically went about reconfiguring the other packages that previously failed. So progress is happening. Bottom line: with a bit of help configuring locales, I may be able to fix the rest of this myself. -- dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
Some more poking around revealed that I needed /etc/default/locale to contain LANG=en_US, not just the locale name, because it's sourced as a shell script. With this change, X now starts on bootup (bad syntax in /etc/default/locale was crashing /etc/init.d/gdm, among other things). Feel free to mark this bug as resolved or closed or whatever. I feel quite competent to tweak the few minor things I still want to change. I wonder, though, if a a sanity check at the beginning of the upgrade wouldn't be a good idea. It might be nice to know that the problems encountered were not caused by the update.

[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
Kevin, please try running the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' I mentioned earlier, it might fix your X. As for your other problems, it seems the root of them is the 'locales' package not being configured... Maybe you could try running 'sudo aptitude reinstall locales'? -- dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 242703] Re: dapper - hardy upgrade breaks system
'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ran fine, but accomplished only reducing my resolution to 800x600. The xorg.conf file was nice and clean however, and I just put the modelines in that one. I still have to start Xorg manually with 'gdm'. Looking at the reboot more carefully, however, I have a more accurate idea of the problem. Xorg is not failing at all. I was looking at output from grub as it ran the splash screen stuff, and thinking it was error messages. There's no evidence that Xorg even tries to run on startup. However, the default runlevel is 2, which differs only slightly from 5 (2 has K01fetchmail instead of S99). Both have S10xserver-xorg-init-wacom as the only obvious reference to xorg. Shouldn't 'gdm' appear somehow in the runlevels? As for locales, I agree that most if not all of the other symptoms are caused by locales being borked. I'm attaching the typescript from running 'aptitude reinstall locales'.

Okay, after reading localedef --help and localedef --usage, I'm still pretty much flying blind. I could, of course, just make a stab at it: for instance localedef en_US seems plausible.

I did not even know about those things. I will try them. In the meantime, I have solved the X part of this. Bumbling around comparing with the Gentoo system that shares this monitor via KVM switch, I narrowed the hsync and vsync ranges until something worked. I now have X, so it was unrelated to the other breakages. Here's the output of dpkg --configure -a it fails without any interaction from me.

I wrote too quickly about Xorg being repaired. It is not quite. When I reboot, it fails, and I have to log in a root console and start X with gdm(1).
