I should learn to keep my mouth shut. "badblocks -n" is likely to cause USB flash defects, however it would indicate that the drive WAS 110% good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794757 Title: Apport displays mysterious prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/794757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

"badblocks -n" comes to mind. If the bootable USB drive passes this test, then it's 100% good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794757 Title: Apport displays mysterious prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/794757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 794757] Re: Apport displays mysterious prompt
I'd just like to update the record to include the trouble shooting steps for defective media. However after attempting to do so I realized I was no expert. Trying again seams best. Once an issue is reported by multiple media using multiple devices, it most likely is not defective media. Multiple different media with defects would likely express an array of different problems, save for failing a media verification step, not the same problem over and over again. However a problem can be specific to a certain configuration, so determining the details of the configuration is a necessary troubleshooting step. Furthermore just because a configuration works 100 times, does not mean that it will not fail 10,000,000 times and the reverse is also true. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794757 Title: Apport displays mysterious prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/794757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 794757] Re: Apport displays mysterious prompt
Just a quick question: Are you booting using a USB-live-cd? This may or may not be relevant: So far, I have only received these types of errors when booting from an external USB-live-cd (with persistence). In case it helps, when I type "ls /var/crash/" that directory the following files (whose contents I can't read due to a sudo problem): _usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash _usr_lib_gvfs_gvfsd-metadata.999.crash _usr_bin_zeitgeist-daemon.999.crash (There's also a ".lock" file.) In my case, I can't tell if this is a bug in ubuntu, or simply an i/o error (due to cheap unreliable USB flash media). Again, I don't know if any of this is relevant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794757 Title: Apport displays mysterious prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/794757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
