rarian-compat AND network applet crashed on installation

[ludefork]

Binary package hint: rarian-compat

While upgrading from Hardy, was about 90% complete when an error message said "upgrade will continue but rarian-compat package may be in a not working state." A few seconds later, another message said "network manager applet could not find some required sources. It cannot continue." The result is that Intrepid will load to the login screen, but won't load gnome after typing name and password. It stalls at a blank yellow-ish screen with nothing on it. Now I'm reverting back to Hardy. Using Dell Inspiron 530, 64-bit machine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade to this bug report?

The rarian report is most probably bug 256131 .

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks for the response.

Sorry, I don't have the log files you requested because I immediately
re-installed Hardy after the crash. But after re-installing Hardy, I did
successfully upgrade to Intrepid on a second attempt. It's working fine so
far. During the second upgrade attempt, I received another error message
which doesn't appear to be a problem (yet). The error message during the
upgrade said, "error occurred while loading or saving configuration
information for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration settings
may not be working properly." Details showed "CORBA error: IDL:
omg.org/CORBA/Comm_Failure:1.0".

Another error during the second upgrade attempt occurred which said "Network
Manager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."

Despite these issues, Intrepid seems to be working well right now. I've
attached the log files to this email from the folder /var/log/dist-upgrade.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks for following up.

I haven't found any evidence in the logs.

The Network Manager issue is bug 126987 . Feel free to add your comments there.

Regarding the evolution issue, deleting ~/.gconfd/saved_state and (if it exists) ~/.gconfd/saved_state.tmp may fix the problem. You can also try with a new user and see if it happens too. If it doesn't then it's a problem with your user's profile. If you can reproduce this error with a new profile then don't hesitate to submit a new report.

I'm closing this report because the original issue has been fixed.

Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better.
