Thank you kko for confirming this bug and parsing the evidence out of the log file for easy readibility.
I gave a suggested resolution in one of my first posts: A one-line warning in the web page, instructing the user to use the server update process from a console TTY, not from an terminal window within KDE. It was a DUH! when I encountered it, and realized (too late) that the server edition doesn't have a gui, so it would make sense to run the server upgrade process from a tty, but I'm impatient, and I'm reading instructions on a web page in a graphical browser, so I just open a terminal window and start typing as I'm told. It would save someone else the dope-slap if the web page had that one-line reminder. So why does it take six months to get a one-line change made to a single web page??? -- Upgrade from kubuntu Dapper requires manual intervention and kdm shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223226 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
