I still get it on my one lap-top - Acer TravelMate 2303LCi with 512K and 40GB HD, formatted as FAT32.
The HD was partitioned, one hidden with the Win XP files needed for install and recovery and tow partitions, one containing Win XP Pro (C:) and the other the ACER files used for recovery (D:). I initially installed Ubuntu (8.04) in a Win directory on the D: partition and, later, upgraded to 8.10 (via the Upgrade Manager). After that, I started getting the error message described below. Later, I uninstalled Ubuntu and re-installed with the Ubuntu 8.10 CD into that same partition (D:), again, into a Win XP directory. As I recall, after the first (massive) "upgrade" was performed, I started to get the error message again. Everytime the Update Manager is invoked, the message "Important security updates" is displayed along with the "checked" selection for the entry "linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" being displayed and it fails the "upgrade" every time. The D: partition is 21GB and has the mount point "/host". It has about 7GB of free space. The XP boot.ini file has the entry c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" with the files "wubildr", "wubildr.mbr" and "grldr" in the Win XP root (C:) directory. The D: partition has the directory, "Ubuntu" with the various sub-directories, "disks", "winboot" and "docs" plus the uninstall file, the icon and a couple of text files. If you need any other input, I'll be glad to supply it. Thanks Bob C. P.S. I have a desktop which has Ubuntu (Wubi) 8.10 installed in the root partition (C: -- NTFS) with Win XP Home Edition and a second lap-top (Toshiba) which has Ubuntu 8.10 installed "native" (Ext 2 and Ext 3). Neither system encounters this problem. However, Ubuntu 8.10 will not support either the NetGear WG511SCU or the WG111v2 wireless on the Toshiba. However, both work on the ACER lap-top (while the Broadcom IPN2220 internal card will not under Ubuntu, but does under XP). Also, the wireless support seems to be inconsistent across all three systems. --- On Tue, 1/27/09, Leann Ogasawara <[email protected]> wrote: From: Leann Ogasawara <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 312029] Re: package linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.14 failed to install/upgrade: To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 3:14 PM Hi bobc4012, Is this still an issue? The reason I ask is because there is a newer 2.6.27-9 kernel available which by looking at your dmesg output you appear to be running. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- package linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.14 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312029 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- package linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic 2.6.27-7.14 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
