" Re: Hardy 8.04 update freezes on generating locales Just had this problem myself. It seems to be to do with the latest Gutsy kernel version. These steps worked for me: 1. Reboot your box, and press ESC to enter the GRUB menu 2. Select the previous version of the kernel xxx.14 rather than xxx.15 (sorry I can't recall the exact version numbers) - don't select the fail-safe mode. 3. Log-in as your admin user into recovery mode 4. Manually (re)start the upgrade via a terminal session: dpkg --configure -a It should complete the install. Good luck" Seems to be working now :) Hopefully this will help some of the people here too :) -- [hardy] generating locales stalls on 64mb ram https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202959 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
