Absolutely marvelous -- am being sarcastic :-)~ So removing only the xenial linux kernel I ended up with video but no mouse or keyboard, so I could not get beyond login. Could not fix with grub recovery. tries to reinstall nvidia-current and also nvidia-304, no joy. So I reinstalled nouveau and configured xorg and as I was watching the install on the screen (all command line) low and behold --- much to my surprise the xenial all got reinstalled all over Conclusion is this is not invalid as it seems to me there is an error in the install script? At this point this is a different problem and was made apparent via sa-compile
To reiterate at o point did I ever ask or invoke an install of xenial asa this came from some update as previously described and maybe it has to do with other issues like I can no longer use purge or reinstall my printer or do a "make" compile without errors. Unfortunately the default Dell c1765 is of poor quality and resolution only 300x300. thus the compile from "http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/ --- foo2hbpl: a linux printer driver for HBPL protocol" Once again I say the xenial was part of a security update form the normal ubuntu update some time ago, maybe quite some time ago In the end I have no resolve on operating without xenial and I checked all 3 boxes and they all have it. So this is not an sa-compile problem and I don't really have to have it anyway after all as it is not all is could be anyway and it does little on a desktop install. On my server there are other ways to filter with postfix and dovecot (this won't be done via virtualmin ever again). So perhaps this should be kicked up the line with the question why xenial on ubuntu-gnome 14.04 desktop AMD64? Thanks James PS got the OS working now with nouveau installed and I think it can stay that way for now Games are OK but liquor is quicker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803633 Title: package sa-compile 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/1803633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
