[Bug 294244] Re: package totem-common 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png': No such file or dire
Somehow the files /usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/spreadsheet.svg had both been turned into directory links, pointing at directories with the same name. The directory pointed at seemed to be inside the one doing the pointing. This erroneous linking seemed to descend for about twenty levels. It was interesting to see the same problem happen in two unrelated locations involving unrelated packages. I have no idea how this happened. As long as this bad linking existed the two packages could not be installed, even after purging them out and attempting to completely reinstall them from scratch. Finally I deleted all the erroneous links with these commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo rm -r totem_next_button.png [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo rm -r spreadsheet.svg After that I could install the packages, which I have done. Everything seems to be running normally now. -- package totem-common 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png': No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294244 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

I ran the following commands to delete the problematic files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo rm -r totem_next_button.png [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo rm -r spreadsheet.svg The Update Manager was still telling me that two updates are available, one for totem-common, and another for gnome-icon-theme. I then had Update Manager apply these updates. Instead of failing like they have always done before, they ran to completion this time, and Update Manager ended by telling me that my system is up to date. It appears that I have worked around the problem. -- Update Manager is creating too many links https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299329 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 299329] Re: Update Manager is creating too many links
I tried to use Nautilus to look at the directory tree associated with the problematic files: /usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/spreadsheet.svg I tried to navigate down to the end of this tree, thinking I could perhaps delete all the excessive links.

The problematic files exist there as links to other files that are graphical images. There does not seem to be anything unusual about that. It appears that the update manager has somehow been looping and creating symbolic links until the file system broke. I dont have any idea how this could happen. Can I undo the problem? I guess I would like to delete the excessive links, but I dont seem to be able to do this with Nautilus.

[Bug 299329] [NEW] Update Manager is creating too many links
Public bug reported: Update manager always indicates to me that updates are pending for totem-common gnome-icon-terminal If I try to install these updates they fail, and I think each failure creates a symbolic link to a directory that is not needed. These incorrect links will then cause further attempts to install these updates to fail. I will never be able to install these updates until I can get rid of all these incorrect links and get back to a starting point that the update manager expects. When I tried to run these updates today I got this message: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-icon-theme_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/spreadsheet.svg' E: /var/cache/apt/archives/totem-common_2.24.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png' It looks like the update manager is expecting the "spreadsheet.svg" and "totem_next_button.png" to be regular graphical image files. Instead, these files are now symbolic links to another directory. This is wrong. I tried to find out what these bogus directories contain by using "ls".

Once again the "Update Manager" told me there were more updates available today. The list included the "totem-common" package and the "gnome-icon-theme" package. I deselected these packages and ran the updates for the other packages listed. Those updates appeared to work correctly - there does not seem to be any clear way for end users to verify that updates have been successful. Anyway, I then ran the update for the problematic packages, and this failed. A window appeared which displayed: An error occurred The following details are provided: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-icon-theme_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/spreadsheet.svg' E: /var/cache/apt/archives/totem-common_2.24.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb: unable to make backup symlink for `./usr/share/gnome/help/totem/oc/figures/totem_next_button.png' There was also an icon on the top bar of my desktop.

Today the Update Manager informed me that 24 updates were available. I started the Update Manager and deselected two of the updates: totem- common, and gnome-icon-theme. These updates have been listed as available for several days now and they have always failed before. I ran the updates for the other 22 packages and this process seemed to complete normally.

My "Update Manager" always states that two updates are available: - totem-common - gnome-icon-theme However, I have tried to run these updates several times now, and they always fail, so I just ignore the "Update Manager" notices about them. Today, my "Update Manager" told me that twenty-nine updates were available. The list included "totem-common" and "gnome-icon-theme". So I deactived these two items, and ran the other updates. I hope this is reasonable - I dont know if there are any dependencies between these updates. The update appeared to run correctly for the other twenty-seven items.

These days I boot this machine by interrupting "grub" with the esc key and choosing the 2.6.24 kernel to boot with. I do this because this kernel allows me to play sounds when the system is up. I booted the machine in this manner just now and then produced a file named "dmesg_24.log" using dmesg.

If I boot this computer and let it follow its default boot sequence, it boots up using the 2.6.25-2-386 kernel. This kernel is problematic since it does not allow any sound to be played.

I noted yesterday that people who are running 8.04 are still getting updates. One of the updates that I saw was a security update for the kernel for 8.04 which I think is 2.6.24. I am running the 2.6.24 kernel too because the upgrade to 8.10 did not give me a later kernel. But I did not get a security update for this kernel.

Public bug reported: I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Several problems were reported to me during the upgrade: PAM reported an error - something about not being able to authenticate with a gnome server. However, I seem to be able to log in and do things, so I dont know how serious this is. The screen size selected for my monitor (neovo 19) was wrong, causing a message about input signal out of range to be permanently displayed. It went away when I manually changed the resolution down to 1280x960. The package totem-common_2.24.2-0ubuntu4_all.deb would not install and ended up being a broken package. Later attempts to reinstall it also failed. I deleted the package. The package gnome_icon_theme_2.24.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb would not install. This seemed to stop sounds associated with logging on.

I tried using the printer again, this time while capturing a log file from the "system-config-printer" service. The test page printing did not work - it came out in black and white instead of colour. The log file is attached. However, I have not been able to verify that the printer is working correctly, and I now suspect that this is a hardware problem. It is really difficult at this end to diagnose what is going wrong. The owner of the printer does not want to spend the money or the time needed to fully diagnose the printer, eg buy a new colour cartridge to see if it will work. So perhaps this bug report should be closed. ** Attachment added: "printertestlog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15899214/printertestlog -- HP deskjet 920c wont print in colour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245072 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 245072] Re: HP deskjet 920c wont print in colour
I went back to the Libranet distribution where the printer used to work and tried to print there. The printer only printed in black and white there too. It appears that something went wrong with the printer while I was installing Ubuntu 8.04. I now suspect that this problem is a hardware failure. I will do as much hardware checking as I can, and I will send in a log file as requested as soon as I get a chance to test the printer again. -- HP deskjet 920c wont print in colour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245072 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 245072] [NEW] HP deskjet 920c wont print in colour
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: system-config-printer Just installed Ubuntu 8.04. The HP Deskjet 920c printer used to print in colour when we were using Libranet, another older Debian based Linux distribution. Now it only prints in black and white. I tried installing "hplip" and that seemed to work partially - features for cleaning heads dont work. However, I can still print, but only in black and white (grayscale). The 920c printer is recognized, and "system-config-printer" gives me a window where I can set options for grayscale or normal printing. Changing these options has no effect on the printer. It only prints in black and white, ie grayscale. ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- HP deskjet 920c wont print in colour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245072 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 74597] slimserver has many problems
Public bug reported: The open source software from Slim Devices at http://www.slimdevices.com/index.html is called "slimserver". It seems to run on many other Linux and Unix systems. However, I downloaded it onto my Ubuntu 6.10 system and the installation script output several error messages. Slimserver itself does not put music files into its library properly, and does not seem to stream various kinds of music files. I think the Ubuntu people need to talk to the Slim Devices people, just a bit, to help get these integration issues resolved. Given that Slim Devices is riding the wave of the next thing in personal computing, Ubuntu would benefit a lot by being there. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- slimserver has many problems https://launchpad.net/bugs/74597 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 74574] Quicken 2000 did not install under Crossover from CodeWeavers
Public bug reported: I cannot get Quicken 2000 to install under Crossover from CodeWeavers.

I think this is primarily a Crossover problem, and I have reported it to them in depth. To date the response has been minimal. For me this is a critical issue. I cannot move forward with Ubuntu until I have Quicken 2000 running. It is still running on Machine A as shown above. I am caught. How do we get the Ubuntu and the Codeweaver people talking about this? I can run tests, but I cannot do much that diagnose or solve this issue. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Quicken 2000 did not install under Crossover from CodeWeavers https://launchpad.net/bugs/74574 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
