** Description changed: Binary package hint: dpkg This is the error I got (see Summary) after waiting 3 hours for 10.04 to install. The warning dialogue says something about 10.04 failing to install and my system possibly being in an unstable, unusable state. It said something about launching a recovery [console? service? I can't remember] something-or-other, but Firefox interrupted with Launchpad because I had chosen to report the error. Well, I'm submitting this, and then I'm going to see what that Recovery part was all about. (It's in the window beneath this one. I dare not minimize Firefox... yet...) Ubuntu Guidelines recommend that I give the following information: -Release: System > About Ubuntu tells me 10.04 since the install just went (but apparently failed?). Actually, I guess it's 9.10. -I don't know the version of the package. I don't even know what package failed. I'm assuming it was dpkg, since that's what was automatically filled in when I reached this page. (I reached this page via the "Report Problem" button, I think.) If it's dpkg, then "apt-cache policy dpkg" tells me "dpkg: Installed: 1.15.5.6ubuntu4 Candidate: 1.15.5.6ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1.15.5.6ubuntu4 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status " -I expected 10.04 to continue with installation -Instead, I received some errors (see wayyyy above), and finally ended up at this page, where I'm reporting the issue. I've taken (a) photo(s) of the error dialogue(s) I received. I can email them to [who?] if they're interested. Please get back to me if you can regarding that at jesse.noordegr...@gmail.com. Please note that I am checking the "security vulnerability" checkbox because I received notification (see wayyyy above) that my system may now be unstable. - Thank you very much, although I am not impressed at the fact that the - upgrade failed and I might have to re-install my system. I'm most - definitely backing up my home folder before I do ANYTHING. And THAT - alone may take a LONG. TIME. :( ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-20.58-generic Uname: Linux 2.6.31-20-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Apr 29 18:27:08 2010 DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.32-21-generic, i686: installed nvidia-current, 195.36.15, 2.6.31-20-generic, i686: installed ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: package xserver-xorg-core is already installed and configured InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) Lsusb: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc.
