[Bug 107188] Re: Upgrade tool crashed with " Cannot allocate memory"

2010-08-01 Thread Tzvetan Mikov
Hi, I just upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 to 9.10 and then to 10.04 and didn't experience the problem. I used to have this problem on previous upgrades on the exact same system, so it appears it has been fixed. I vote to close it. -- Upgrade tool crashed with " Cannot allocate memory" https://bugs.

Sebastien, I will be upgrading my laptop from Kubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 one of these days, so I will post back here. Frankly, I am scared to upgrade, but it will be a good test because it is double upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 and then to 10.04 (Kubuntu doesn't support a direct upgrade). -- [patch] Upgr

It is naive to expect that this can be fixed by the community. Problems of this kind can only be fixed by a coordinated entity with resources: someone that can purchase different hard drives, possibly laptops, and is able to put some pressure on the manufacturers for information, and to invest sign
