Hi, today (a few hours ago) I updated my Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 64 bits fresh install using the Staging PPA to Gnome 3.12. The only (huge) problem so far is with Synaptic! I can confirm the issue describ above. When I open Sybnaptic it takes about 2 to 3 minutes to load! The fan goes crazy! Spinning at full speed! Then, after the 2 or 3 minutes, finally loads, but there's more! When I choose to use the search box to find a package it works fine, but if I try to erase the letters in the search box to look for another package the fan goes crazy again, and for another 2 or 3 more minutes, nothing, until it finally sows all the packages starting fromletter "a". At last, but not least, when I use the main menu (File) and choose close, the issue repeats it self! Another, this time, 1 or 2 minutes for Synaptic to close. I've repeated the process 3 times, and it allways happended! One of the times, a window pop up stating that there was a problem with Synaptic and asking me if I wanted to TERMINATE or CONTINUE. I've choose continue and eventually it got out of the freezing! This only occured AFTER I upgraded to Gnome 3.12| Before, using the "normal" 3.10, NOTHING like this ever happended! I checked for my /var/crash directory, but, maybe, because I did wait for it to work properly, I don't have any log.
Regardeless, I can confirm the bug/issue in the exact same conditions as describe above by Roger and Forage. If there's any procedure that you'll like to execute in order to help with the issue, please inform me and, within my technical limitations I'll do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308295 Title: synaptic crashes after installing updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1308295/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
