Upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 LTS - see Bob Grants message The upgrade stopped when installing the wvdial package. An interrupt with strg+c forced the program to continue but it could not finish successfully: No cleanup and automatic reboot. Booting the old kernel in recovery mode was possible. I suggest to change this procedure: either the upgrade process can detect the DHCP server and can configure eth0 e.g. - there is a (A)DSL connection! - or there should be a choice to skip the installation of wvdial.

This bug is still around in Hardy Alpha6. I just did a fresh install on a oldish Dell Optiplex GX110 and had it hang on the wvdial configuration step. I started a shell and found that the last process was: wvdialconf /etc/wvdialconf which i believe was called from /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/wvdial.postinst configure Once I killed the former 'wvdialconf' process the installation continued just fine. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. -- Installation hangs upon reaching the wvdial package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139040 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

[Bug 139040] Re: Installation hangs upon reaching the wvdial package
You can work around this bug by physically removing the modem from the machine before installing/updating. I suspect most if not all of the people experiencing this have soft or win modems by Lucent and some other companies. The installation hangs when configuring wvdial as it tries to communicate with the modem. After removing the offending hardware the installation will move past that point in a few seconds and finish in a few minutes. If you connect to the internet through your ethernet card and don't need to use any other telephony applications then removing the modem is of no consequence - just make sure to cover the slot. If you need to use the modem you can still remove it before installing, then put it back in afterwards and try to configure the software manually.
