I have recently been re-installing Kubuntu 7.10 on a VMWare virtual machine. I had previously installed 7.10 on a similar VM last year (when 7.10 was new), and it had worked fine. Now I'm getting this crash on dist-upgrade.
Directions to get a crash: i) Make a new VM (I'm using VMWare Fusion 1.1.1 on a MacBook running MacOS Leopard 10.5.2). Use the default VM settings for Ubunutu (VMWare has these defaults. It includes an 8Gb drive and 512 Mb of RAM.) ii) Install from MD5 (kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso) = ae9b209fe4b9caf545fa2011631de797 I downloaded that iso a while ago, so it may not be up-to-date. I have installed with it successfully before though (on both VMs and real machines). iii) Everything installs as normal. You then restart into the new OS. iv) Start Adept. The first time you update the apt package lists, it will tell you there is a dist-upgrade. Select it. v) Adept will download the update manager and then start it. vi) The update manager will crash. I did finally manage to get this to work by increasing the amount of RAM in my VM to 1024Mb, and increasing the drive size to 10Gb. When I did this (and re-installed from scratch) dist-upgrade didn't crash any more. -- kubuntu dist upgrade tool crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154000 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
