Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[UbuFiNeon (ubufineon)]

affected me on updating resources ... after a partial apt-get upgrade!
Seems to be fixed after complete upgrade ... now!

[Mathieu Cossette (mcossette)]

Affect me again . . . after partial upgrade. Seems to happen from time to time.

[Roy H Huddleston (archspader)]

I was working with my graphics cards. I have an XFX 1 GB PCI-e running my Dell 22 inch monitor on dvi and my Dell 17 inch monitor. On my first PCI I have the ATI Radeon 64 MB graphics card running the Acer 19 inch monitor. The Acer is working now but the Nvidia is giving me troubles because it is saying no proprietary drivers are in use on this system. Probably not related.

And again here. For me it shows up after a clean installation from the "alternate desktop version 32 bit" of Ubuntu. And it is triggered with every call of the update-manager.

[John Costella (jpcostella)]

Occurred on clean install of 12.04 beta 2 64-bit. Update Manager generally working but threw this once.

[Pablo Almeida (pabloalmeidaff9)]

Just got this twice after pressing "Check for updates" once.

The bug will be fixed with the next upload of aptdaemon. Sorry for the trouble.

the bug report says: <<Architecture: amd64>> but I'm running a 32bit System

[Baldrick (bheath-nz)]

I'm running a 32bit system too, same prob. Happened after reboot following after update using update manager.
Usually use terminal yo update/upgrade, so not aware if this is a regular occurrence.

Can confirm. Crashes when I plug in my headphones into the audio jack. (Sound transfers to the headphones as I plug in partially but once the jack is fully inserted in crashes.) Sound mutes with both the speakers and the headphones, but returns to the speakers once the jack is unplugged.

The app report bug didn't come up at first-but I used sudo apt-get upgrade -d to get all updates to install (the kernel packages and a few others).

I'm new to reporting bugs so please provide terminal commands if you want any debugging information.

[Wayne Sexton II (waynesbox)]

Bug occurred during an update session. Seems to also occurr after a request to check for updates.

[Andrei (andrei-doom)]

Fix released ? I've updated all packages prior to reboot, then I checked again, boom; crash. So,uhm what fix was that again ? Released ? In thin air maybe.

[Sleep Less (not-really)]

Hit me just now *after* daily upgrade (a few minutes ago) & (necessary) reboot...

crash when searching for new updates. i can't reproduce it again.
and after upgrade and reboot i can't reproduce it.

This is happening on start-up - 32bit Lubuntu 12.04

[Andrei (andrei-doom)]

This is getting pretty much idiotic, fast. Changing bug status because even after ANOTHER set of updates, it is still not fixed. Dunno who the hell thinks this is STILL FIXED, but I'm telling you: IT ISN'T !

[Oleg Aliev (oleg-h-aliev)]

Ждём стабильный выпуск Ubuntu 12.04 64 или 32

Dear Andrei,

You did the right thing by changing the status.

Please refrain from harsh language <3 .

Dear Oleg,

English please :) Pretty please :)

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar

[Evan Huus (eapache)]

Please note the difference between the status 'Fix Committed' and 'Fix Released'. 'Fix Committed' simply means that the fix has been identified by the developers and dumped into the source code repository. It does *not* mean that the fix is available via the normal update channels. When a new version of the package with this fix is released via updates, the status will change to 'Fix Released'.

[Evan Huus (eapache)]

Please also note the difference between the two bug targets: 'Aptdaemon' and 'aptdaemon (Ubuntu)'. 'Aptdaemon' refers to the upstream project, where this bug is 'Fix Released'. This is because upstream has released a new version with the fix for this bug included. 'aptdaemon (Ubuntu)' refers to the version in Ubuntu, which is still only 'Fix Committed' because that new version hasn't yet been included. As per @glatzor's several comments, however, it will be soon.

[anatoly techtonik (techtonik)]

It will be helpful guys, if you insert references to closing commits here. My subjective opinion after 12.04 switch that this update architecture is rather crappy and it would be nice to see if it is at least can be covered by tests.

[lindsey wylde (lwylde100)]

Still happening fairly consistently..

[nauni1977 (nauni1977)]

It happened directly after restart. I did only start firefox and thunderbird ... nothing else. All current updates are installed.

Hello!
Make sure that when it is stated, it's 64 bit version that has problems. I'm running i386 (32 bit) version and have similar problem.

stop reopening the bug. and this is also no discussion forum. go somewhere else. © Ulrich Drepper

[Logan Rosen (logan)]

Interesting. I am not receiving this crash anymore when checking for updates (with the latest updates installed), but the package was updated in Ubuntu 8 days ago. Can anybody else please confirm that this crash is no longer occurring?

[reinhard müller (nuggluhu)]

Had just booted, selectet updatemanager and then it produced the error.

[Wes Shaddix (wshaddix)]

Just updated, rebooted and upon login selected "Software Up To Date" from login menu. Got error when updatemanager opened up.

Still getting this error after today's update fix

Still getting this error after today's update.

[Rishi Gadhok (rishigadhok)]

It's 10th April, and I still got the same error.
Isn't there a way of knowing what package should've been installed for this bug to go away?
I don't know if the update has been pushed yet.

[Benni Tampubolon (bennlucky7)]

getting this error when trying to update from source center in ubuntu tweak

[vishal goswami (goswamivm)]

i don't know whether or not it is the same bug , but whenever i click on "report" crash , it points to this bug, and i have updated my system and there was never a problem while updating, but my system frequently gets halted after the signing in dialog , and it is still happening even after installing all the updates, it is xubuntu 12.04 beta2 amd64.

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

I face the same issue. Whenever i click on "report" crash , it points to this bug, and i have updated my system.

[Kazi Shahnoor Ashraf (kaziweb)]

I tried to update and I got this same for me as well but two times report request came. This is first. for second I'm attaching screen shot.

[shailender (shailender)]

happens after I login in to system for 1st time.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This will be fixed in this version of aptdaemon:

aptdaemon (0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu1) precise;

[MasterNetra (designerkline)]

Occured for me while installing from Software Center. Beta 2, 32bit, clean install, fully updated at the time of this comment.

[Perryg (phalbert)]

Humm,

Synaptic shows version 0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu1 after my last update was installed and the issue is still there.

Question; Is there a way to reliably get an update to this issue? Seriously, I knew girls in school that didn't tease as much about being able to get it. It's commited, It's released, it's commited, Etc.

[Ernest Kudron (kudron2)]

came after fixed released, did not work. Crashed when checking for updates.

[Karma Dorje (taaroa)]

aptdaemon (0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
  - Fix wrong variable names in the download progress (fixes LP: #971839,

Please make sure that the latest version of aptdaemon has been installed
(0.43+805). If you are not downloading from the main archive it can take
some time before your download mirror has been updated and provides the
latest version of aptdaemon.

Furthermore please close software-center and wait more than 5 minutes.
Aptdaemon will shutdown and the new version will be started the next
time.

[Remco Brenninkmeijer (requist1)]

After update the problem seems to be fixed, thanks!

I did however also threw away neglected crash reports from /var/crash, probably not necessary but cleans up so nicely :)

[Ant Dickens (antonydickens)]

Lubuntu 12.04

Happened during update using Update Manager

[Franck (alci)]

Just happened again after upgrading (on main servers) at 12:32 CET on monday 12/04/2012.
Aptdaemon package version is 0.43+bzr805-0ubuntu1

[Ron Steed (ronsteed-o)]

Could someone remind me how long after fix-released status does the fix show up in a normal apt-get upgrade?

Thanks!

[Evan Huus (eapache)]

@ronsteed-o Depends on how long the change takes to build and propagate to whichever mirror your using. The change is already on the main (Canonical-hosted) mirror, so most other mirrors shouldn't be far behind. Note that the bug may appear one more time after applying the fix if you still have an old apt-daemon instance running. Restarting aptdaemon after updating will clear it.

[lljccoael (lljccoael-deactivatedaccount)]

I just want to report that I just updated five minutes ago, rebooted, immediately got the System Error popup after logging in, clicked to report this bug, and it sent me here. So, if the fix has been released, I didn't get it.

[lljccoael (lljccoael-deactivatedaccount)]

Actually, manually restarting apt-daemon immediately brings up the following error and bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/450662 ,but that doesn't affect normal use.

Upon rebooting, the former bug is fixed, and I suppose the latter is not important. So, thanks.
