Wow, I did not expect this bug from 2008 to resurface in 2021!
To quote myself in 2008:

#2 happened many *many* years ago, so I can no longer test this issue,

USB disks show up here just like other disks in "df", so that's normal.
/dev/dm-0 is most likely an encrypted partition. /boot cannot be in an
encrypted partition because you need it for decryption. If the disk was just
one big encrypted partition, you'd need to boot on a USB stick or
@dmcnutt /boot is usually a separate partition, byt default around
250MB, which is way too small. Use command "df" to see how much space
you have left on each partition. if /boot is nearly full, it doesn't
help if / has loads of space.

Completely agree with @grey - it is unacceptable that such a simple
thing will consistently create problems for ALL ubuntu users, many of
which will not be comfortable with entering "sudo apt-get -y autoremove"
or whatever in terminal.
I do understand the issue though - each kernel is a separate
I know this is an old thread, but it seem this problem still exists on Ubuntu
14.04. I recently did an install on an affected computer and I documented the
process so I could make this instruction for the benefit of anyone else having
the same issue:
I have a temporary workaround until this issue is fixed. It seems indeed
that it occurs on encrypted home directories, so the solution is to move
the files away from that. Note that the files you move away from your
encrypted home directory are (obviously) no longer encrypted...
Anyway, this
I don't think this is fixed. Was getting it with indicator-weather in

This is what happened when the bug occured:
I added ths to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
then ran:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
Never mind, this can be closed.
I didn't notice that the installer was running. It's a bit weird that the
installer should block installation on the usb stick though, as the installer
is supposed to intall on th har drive.

I got a similar problem when upgrading a computer from kubutu hardy 8.04 to
karmic 9.10 using adept.
During the upgrade it said the flashplugin-non-free package failed in some way.
Now, it wont' install, configure or uninstall:
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Reading package lists...
Unfortunately Diogo's sugested workaround above does not work in my
case, as no such files exist on the system.

I haven't tried using it since I logged this issue, as it didn't make much
sense given I couldn't even install Ubuntu. Anyway, I've now installed

setxkbmap will probably work for you as well then.
An easier workaround for you would be to create a link on the desktop or
something that starts setxkbmap, or just run it from the console, like I do.
This makes it more bearable, but I have to emphasize that this is *not*
a fix, it's an ugly hack
Unfortunately the suggestion from comment 133 does not make a difference.
As Brian observed above, there's no config file in ~/.vmware.
I tried both creating one and adding the content suggested and adding it to
/etc/vmware/config, none of which worked.
