Bug Description
SRU request:
Please accept fglrx-pxpress 0.6~hybrid0.0.2 in precise-proposed.
[Rationale]
Because of a regression in 0.6~hybrid0.0.1, the amd-config upstart job gets stuck, and, as a result, /var/log/
[Impact]
fglrx-pxpress is installed by jockey only on systems with hybrid graphics. This issue can make a system very slow and can also cause it to run out of space.
[Test case]
1) Remove the old log:
sudo rm /var/log/
2) Install fglrx-pxpress 0.6~hybrid0.0.2 on a hybrid system
3) Boot the system
4) see if /var/log/
5) check that /var/log/
6) make sure that the upstart is not running any more by typing:
sudo initctl status amd-config
The correct output is "amd-config stop/waiting".
