Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) in VMWare on MS Windows, since suspend to RAM is broken for HP nc6120 laptops (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222561). Then by suspending in Windows I can work around the linux bug. However, now anacron is not executed by the Ubuntu resume scripts any more and therefore does not work if the system is not running at 7:30 a.m. (/etc/cron.d/anacron).
Proposed solution: As suggested by angkor at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-286480.html solve the problem by adding the following script to /etc/cron.hourly: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/anacron -s ** Affects: anacron (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Anacron fails in virtual machines like VMWare https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
