[Bug 107881] Re: Edgy Feisty Alt CD upgrade update-manager fails
Finally, after running cdromupgrade about 5 times, I got it upgraded. It actually didn't quit after the above error like it said it would, and there was an identical about sound-juicer, before continuing. Here's a summary: Could not install 'Rhythmbox'.

Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). Ran cdromupdate a 5th time: 70 packages to upgrade. Fetching 2 files.

I installed Konqueror some point to test the browser and file manager capabilities. I have a few KDE apps installed too. But the upgrade finished, finally, with most errors resolver. I'm guessing the other CD-RW drive has some occasional problems reading CD-Rs, hence producing random package errors and MD5 errors. The DVD-ROM drive seem to have done better. Now I just have to figure out why I no longer have permission to eject my CDs...

[Bug 107881] Re: Edgy Feisty Alt CD upgrade update-manager fails
The upgrade-manager specifically said it was disabling 3rd-party repositories for the upgrade. All 3rd-party repositories are currently disabled. My sources-list now point to Feisty repositories, despite the process having been aborted. It warned the system might be in an unstable state. Anyway, I ran synaptic, and removed one broken package, to do with HP printing, since I don't have an HP printer anyway. I re-ran the installer CD, which has previously been verified. This time there were less packages to fetch and install, so presumably some packages were successfully installed and not reverted; it failed previously during the Configuration phase. This time around though, it went to fetch the 1118 packages. but in the end failed with MD5 sum errors.

After the last time, it didn't even recognise the CD anymore. It did recognise a commercial audio CD. The CD had been previously verified. So I restarted with an old DVD-ROM plugged in instead. 4th try, this time with 810 packaged to get, failed too, again with a different error: Could not install '/cdrom//pool/main/r/rhythmbox/rhythmbox_0.10.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb' short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/iradio/libiradio.so') Nothing of note in apt.log, and main.log reflects the above error.

[Bug 111031] Request: Include Wubi on LiveCD Windows apps
Public bug reported: Although still Beta, it would be useful to include Wubi on the LiveCD as part of the included Windows apps http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html Basically, it would give the curious the chance to try Ubuntu on their Win XP machine longer than a mere LiveCD in a non-destructive way without partitioning, allowing full customisation and native speed. Some work would be needed to have it install from the LiveCD rather than download, and to support Vista. A page before the install icon should describe what it does and how to use it in user-friendly terms and emphasising that it's a safe way to try out Ubuntu without partitioning, but that if they like it, a proper install should be made. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Request: Include Wubi on LiveCD Windows apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 59895] Re: Updating Kernel modified Grub doesn't respect customised entries
Confirm that grub-update doesn't affect anything above ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST but that is not ideal, being before all the instructions and examples etc. In bug #21412 it was suggested to have an include for the autogenerated output or something similar, or even moving to Grub2 (don't know if it's stable yet or its capability; Grub1 itself is no longer being developed). As a workaround for me it's fine, provided its location before all other options doesn't affect it. Ideally it should be smart enough to detect Ubuntu kernels and only modify its entries. Even if you have a distinct Ubuntu section like the automagic one, but more specific. It is able to leave my Splashimage line alone in Dapper, which it didn't previously, so it should be able to do the same for non-Ubuntu entries. All this would be moot if there were a proper Graphical Grub editor, which is a separate issue. -- Updating Kernel modified Grub doesn't respect customised entries https://launchpad.net/bugs/59895 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 59912] Graphical Grub editor (Boot Options config) needed
Public bug reported: Ubuntu/Debian needs a graphical Boot Options config panel under System - Administration written in GTK+2 (or possibly something like wxPython, which I understand would make it native to KDE as well). It should be aimed at Grub2 and preferably introduced simultaneously (I don't know when it will be ready). Ideally no-one should have to edit a menu.lst manually ever. It should have the capabilities that Grub2 has, like adding/editing entries (it should be able to detect/confirm installed OSes and their location), setting timeout, colours and Bootsplash (themeable), etc. It should also be able to recover installed sytems from a LiveCD, ie you can tell it to change root to a particular install and fix/install Grub on the MBR. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Graphical Grub editor (Boot Options config) needed https://launchpad.net/bugs/59912 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 21412] Re: Default update-grub behaviour is not intuitive with respect to user modifications
To get Windows (or any other OS) to appear first in the list, it is necessary to add it BEFORE the Automagic section, which is before all the Options and example comments, which is less than ideal. It would be OK to have an Ubuntu section with all its kernels, as long as you can add entries before and after as needed/desired, without having to go above the options and comments section.

I just did an upgrade, and though I've now switched to experimenting with ntfs-3g, the experimental driver which will be merged into ntfs-progs, the problem is the same. What's interesting is, that once I restarted after the upgrade (which included a new kernel), the HAL demon failed to start. All the NTFS partitions showed up on the Deskop and in Places. But after trying sudo dpkg --configure -a and restarting to get HAL working, the next time hald did start and the NTFS partitions had disappeared from the Desktop and places.
