Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Thanks,

Martin

There is actually enough information in this bug report to determine what the problem is. The report is using Ubuntu installed in Windows (you can determine this by looking at ProcCmdLine and the loop option) and has tried to upgrade their kernel. Unfortunately, this fails due to bug 252900. Subsequently, I am marking this a duplicate of that bug.
