This happened to me upgrading Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. After Distribution Upgrade updated a bunch of packages, it prompted me to restart the computer, I delayed responding, but there was a long progress bar waiting for my input.
>From the KDE desktop System Notification Helper I allowed a reboot, but my >computer didn't reboot, Instead Distribution Upgrade continued to the step where it asked me whether to "Remove obsolete packages". It was really weird. I don't see any lines about restart or reboot in /var/log/dpkg.log , and I don't know where dist-upgrade keeps its logs, if anywhere. At some point in the upgrade I noticed there was a /var /reboot-required and /var/reboot-required-files (? I think), I think the latter had three packages in it; alas they are gone now I've successfully updated and restarted. -- Restart prompt before update finished https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409002 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
