Bug Description
***
Suggested importance: HIGH
***
Hi, This is a crash file from a previous installation. I know it is probably a duplicate, but I don't see any other way to report it with the full crash data attached. I think this is necessary for the following reasons: I had a fatal system crash twice, and I reinstalled twice. I think this bug must have occurred during upgrading from 8.04 to 22.6.27-2.2, or during upgrading from 8.10 alfa to 2.7.27-2.2. I am presently using 2.6.27-2.3, which does not give any major problems any longer, neither did 2.6.27-2.1 in fact. I am fully updated and upgraded. This package continuous to fail to install and the problem may be more serious then you may suspect. Many long time Windows users like me know you still have to update your OS after you have reinstalled your system. Most can be done through your Windows updater, and the update applet on your virus scanner and firewall. In XP you also had to update your MS Office separately. There are however a few applications that you have to install straight away as well, but which are not (yet) property of MS. These are often Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Flash Player and a Java Applet. Therefor inexperienced Ubuntu users will often go look for that in Synaptic. Unfortunately both gnash and sun-java6-doc fail to install. For gnash this is not a problem, it just stays uninstalled forever, or until you learn the '$ sudo apt-get remove gnash' command. You can still install flashplayer-

Note to bug team. I have asked several questions to the bug team but I have not gotten sufficient feedback yet. I will sum it up once more: I do not know when it is usefull to file a bug. I prescribe now to any bug I find or report a new one with every new title. I do or do not report a new one with any new release? I mean 8.10 instead of 8.04, not different alfa's. I cannot attach crash files to a bug report, but without filing a new bug, I cannot add any system data to a bug report either. Should I consider filing a new bug for any incomplete or invalid status? I have installed gdb, but I do not know how o use it. I get something like this:

I understand you are all busy with alfa 5 and pre-beta know. But here is a tip to make your and my life easier:
Two choices:
1) Ask me to file less bugs.
2) Give me a little feedback on this note.
I am currently encountering about 10 new bugs a day, of which at least 2 or 3 new ones. So it could be worth an education attempt, since alfa 5 will give me more of this I think. Is there a tutorial that covers it all and is understandable to a guy like me, who has zero IT background?
I have found the following instruction pages:

I have experienced a crash or bug on every bug report I filed or am subscribed to. If there is an urgent one amongst them, please contact me for info. Espacially these ones: # 254238 # 246067. I would like to do a new install on VirtualBox 1.6.6 under 8.10 2.6.27-2.3 of 8.04 with my old APTonCD. If it works I will have the ability to merge this with my current APTonCD for 8.10, which has less applications on it. Could you people give me a gdb terminal command and the proper debugging packages to download? This will give me feedback about the two bugs mentioned here.
