My findings so far when upgrading a couple of servers. *When localedef takes 100% cpu it's not possible to kill it. *killall locale-gen makes the upgrade continue for awhile but get stuck when one package tries to do a ps, which will also hang. *Poweroff and then start with Gutsy kernel doesn't work since localedef takes 100% again when configuring locales.
The only solution I can find on -server kernel is to: * mv /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local ~/ * do-release-upgrade * start with new Hardy kernel * mv ~/local /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ * dpkg-reconfigure locales * reboot -- Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 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
