Bug Description
A fresh install of UNR from the .iso image fails as described here: http://
This happens everytime you launch ubuntu from the flash drive.
Steps to reproduce:
Download .iso image from ubuntu.com
Use usb-creator-gtk to make a bootable flash drive (must have a USB disk of size 1GB or greater)
launch ubuntu from the newly booted flash drive
What happens:
The computer starts working and we get to a pulsing black and white ubuntu logo (that gives no feedback whatsoever).
After about five minutes of pulsing, the splash eventually times out and we see that the reason why we never went forward was because of this message being repeated in the background over and over again:
This is normally a bug in some application call using the D-Bus library.
process XXXX: arguments to dbus_pending_
What is expected:
System boots up to a login screen and we get to experience ubuntu in all its glory.
How often does this happen: Everytime
What computer did this happen on?:
Personally, I tried it on an Acer Aspire One, and an HP ProBook 4510s.
A user on blogspot, John Lawrence Aspden, tried it on a Dell Mini 10v (see link: http://
At least two other computers are having this problem too (ubuntuforums), but specs are not given on them.
PS: Sorry I could not be more specific and filed this against UNR itself, since I do not know actually which process is causing the error, since process numbers are assigned at random... will provide more information if needed, or as it becomes available.
(I kinda figured that D-Bus is not the problem here...)
did you check the md5sum ?
