I think the following may be a related symptom. I notice that the error "/usr/sbin/nscd: option `--invalidate' requires an argument" appears every time I run "/etc/init.d/nscd restart". I took a look at the man page for nscd, but could not figure out what kind of argument it was expecting after the "--invalidate" argument in /etc/init.d/nscd, line 89. As a temporary fix, I edited that file to give it the "all" argument, and that made things continue smoothly.
This error has happened ever since I installed edgy 2 days ago, so I don't think it's due to upgrading. -- Upgrade fails. /etc/init.d/nscd stop returns exit code 1 when not running https://launchpad.net/bugs/47904 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
