[Bug 50041] Re: System lock on upgrade or new install
I don't know if this is the correct place, but while upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 Setting up wvdial also froze my computer. I couldn't kill the process at all and after 45 minutes I pulled the plug. Had some serious errors on reboot a few times but eventually the PC started up. Was sluggish at first, hopped into terminal and changed the wvdial.conf to contain the modem at the bottom. Then proceeded to sudo dpkg --configure -a and it seems to be starting off where the upgrade left off. It seems to be setting up packages just fine now.

Killing the process wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf worked for me, but just to be sure I also edited wvdial.conf added modem to the bottom and ran wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf again. -- System lock on upgrade or new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50041 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 50041] Re: System lock on upgrade or new install
Theres a quick hack to make it bypass modem detection at install... after the first time u install it using apt ..when it hangs at Setting up wvdial.. press CTRL-C Then edit your /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Phone = Username = Password = New PPPD = yes modem basically just add the line modem at the end.. then do a sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a this should work..and give the fullowing message.. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up wvdial (1.56-1.1ubuntu2) ... /etc/wvdial.conf already exists -- not probing your modem. (Run wvdialconf manually if you want to re-detect your modem.) Setting up kubuntu-desktop (1.32ubuntu1) ... I figured this workaround after examining the /var/lib/dpkg/info/wvdial.postinst file that is generated..it does a grep -qui ^modem on the wvdial file and if it finds modem it does not try detection. Its a lousy workaround but if u are like me and dont use wvdial, then this will atleast ensure that package manager is sane.. u can remove the last line i.e. modem after the dpkg run. Hopefully, this will be fixed in later versions.. -Bharat -- System lock on upgrade or new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50041 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

Setting up wvdial (1.56-1.1ubuntu2) ... It's been sitting there at this step for about 45 minutes. I can open other programs (slowly), but I don't know if I should just break the process and hope that the upgrade is completed or not... and then, I have no idea how this will affect my computer down the road. I ran sudo lsb_release -a and received the message that the Release had been upgraded to 7.04 and the Codename was upgraded to Feisty, so I'm hoping everything's okay. -- System lock on upgrade or new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50041 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 50041] Re: System lock on upgrade or new install
OK... I broke out of the process of wvdial setting up and got the following message: dpkg: error processing wvdial (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) It then continued to setting up xfonts-base and other packages... However, now there seem to be more problems. Later on down: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-desktop depends on wvdial; however: Package wvdial is not configured yet. dkpg: error processing ubuntu-desktop (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured I have a feeling that that can't be good. -- System lock on upgrade or new install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50041 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

Hi,

wvdial tries to talk to your serial ports, trying to find modems.
Long-standing bug, I'm afraid; I reported the same thing a year ago.

I got this when updating to 1.56-1.1ubuntu2 (feisty), because I'd been using my IRDA earlier, and left the ircom-tty module loaded.
