I was finally able to boot with a Kubuntu Feisty disk due to issues with the nvidia legacy driver (is my best guess) and repair the filesystem and it had lots of issues. After the repair the packages upgraded successfully and I was able to upgrade to the latest version of everything as of this morning. The box seems much happier now.
Just so you know, this was a fresh install of Feisty and then upgraded to Gutsy via apt-get (or at least, I'm pretty sure that's how I did it) and I've been trying to keep up with the latest packages as they come out, but every so often things have broken and I've had to manually run apt-get -f install and then apt-get dist-upgrade -u to finalize things for that run. I guess at some point this corrupted the filesystem or the recent weird lockups and having to use the power button to reboot. I ultimately went with Gutsy since it had support for ivtv out of the box with the in-kernel driver inclusion and all I have to do is update my Video::ivtv perl module to work with the latest driver headers and get that pushed upstream and have the debian people include the record- v4l2.pl script also and things will be perfect. The ptune.pl and ptune- ui.pl scripts were reworked by me and I was quietly shocked to see them included in the ivtv related packages with debian and ubuntu when I went to install feisty and gutsy. Too bad I haven't had time to keep up with the driver development and keep the perl code in sync with the driver though. -- package openoffice.org-common 1:2.3.0~rc1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: unable to move aside `./usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/simpress/accelerator' to install new version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
