Hi again. Sorry to complicate things, but thought I should mention this. On trying again, I let the liveCD do it's thing with the new automatic hidden boot menu (previously, I had activated the boot menu and selected the 'live' option). The new graphical menu appeared with the two choices, 'Try' and 'Install'. On clicking 'Try', the mouse cursor changed to the busy one and the machine appeared to do nothing else. Eventually, I hit Ctrl-Shft-F1 and rebooted from the command line.
Is it worth trying to do the apport from this state or could this be entirely unrelated? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582570 Title: VERY slow boot, no battery icon in panel -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
