Same problem, ubuntu 10.10 maverick, x86. 100% repeatable steps:
Plug in external drive (in my case, activated USB storage on my Nexus One, and plugged it in, and opened the drive with nautilus, no other file transfer other than however nautilus queries the drive I suspect) Attempt to install something with apt Watch as dpk gets mode D on it's process (uninterruptable) Reboot in order to use apt again, because process will not quit even if you unmount / unplug the device as dpkg retains it's locks/pids and apt refuses to run again until reboot. This is rediculous, can this just be fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 Title: INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
