I can reproduce this bug as well. Clicking "Select Best Server" in the "Choose a Download Server" dialog causes all of synaptic to hang up. I can close the both the "Software Sources" and "Choose a Download Server" dialog via "Force Quit" but synaptic hangs indefinitely and must be closed from the terminal by running "sudo kill -9 ..." running "ps -e" shows a <defunct> gpg process and a <defunct> ssh process both of which can be terminated by running "sudo kill -9 ..." on the software-proper process. Until a fix is committed if this happens to you and you aren't sure how to kill the defunct processes please refer to the following article http://kenno.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/how-to-kill-defunct- process/
Now for some quick information about my system: Architecture: amd64 Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit) I hope this information is helpful. If you need any additional information I am more than willing to provide it. -- unresponsive when "Select Best Server" button is clicked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326800 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
