FINAL UPDATE- I think I found the problem- I did a third install, fresh from the live CD like the other 2, but THIS TIME- knowing there were over 100 updates, INSTEAD OF immediately opening Firefox, I waited like 5 minutes for the updates- Updating before using Firefox allows it to complete normally- upon reset, firefox works still, but other components can be updated successfully, where before the error persisted.
To avoid this error- wait after the install, and update Ubuntu WITHOUT OPENING ANYTHING- specifically, firefox. Now error free. Noticed others getting this error- this is apparently how you fix it. -- All Updates Failing- "E: base-files: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 123" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
