This bug reoccured after wiping out my previous partition by manually reformatting the entire harddisk to install Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. This way I could top up my Huawei E220 and E169 modem for 3 Mobile Broadband. They also have to run once under Windows before they will work without further hacking under network-manager 0.7.0.
I then reformatted my 160 GB harddisk into a 2 GB linux-swap and all the rest into ext 3. Both primary partitions. I always used gparted for partitioning. I installed the 8.04 official CD from the ubuntu UK server, md5checksum OK. I did not install a single program or repository. I upgraded with the following command: sudo apt-get -fy update ; sudo apt-get -fy upgrade ; sudo apt-get -fy dist-upgrade ; sudo apt-get -fy install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get -fy autoremove ; sudo update-manager -c -d ; sudo synaptic I restarted with the blue arrows and not sudo reboot. I have nothing plugged in accept the power cable. I have not used any usb modems so far, just fiber optic broadband true my wireless card (and router off course). Everything went uneventful so far, accept this bug reoccuring. It seems to be asymptomic, but I suggest importance medium as it will probably reoccur for other users. Cheers, Thomas BTW, My BIOS is updated and I have no malfunctioning hardware. -- compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183685 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
