2011-04-03 15:48:10 Hummingbird description Binary package hint: initramfs-tools 1. Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Release: 10.04 ---------------------------- 2. flashplugin-nonfree: Installed: 9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1 Candidate: 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.04.1 Version table: 10.2.153.1ubuntu0.10.04.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/multiverse Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/multiverse Packages 10.0.45.2ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/multiverse Packages *** 9.0.159.0ubuntu1~hardy1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ----------------------- 3. I expected the flashplugin update to remove the old flashplugin-nonfree and replace it. And that is what it tried to do and failed. (about a dozen times) Oh and using "sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer" works the same way, error 2. ----------------- 4. What happens simply put is that update manager closes with an error 2 whatever the heck that is. Not very descriptive but certainly potent. The update doesn't happen because it can't purge the old version. But the old version files don't exist for the most part (I looked) and there are a few empty directories. BTW, the update manager says the new flashplugin can be installed and then the old one removed. But that was never tried by the manager, and I could not get it to ignore the old version. Evidently, several of the files and directories on the drive were removed but not all of them. I am not sure if the purge process in the update did that or if the purge processes from the upgrade I did two weeks ago did that and left a mess. And per usual there is more to this than meets the eye. First of all I upgraded to 10.04 (3/17 or 3/18) from the previous LTS version 8.04. I have a policy of sticking with the LTS series and then I wait awhile after the new release before actually making the upgrade. Why is this important and possibly a bug? I believe that the upgrade to 10.04 installation didn't complete although after watching several thousand commands whip by on the screen I haven't a clue. I can tell you this though, I don't think grub updated, the version on my machine is 0.97 not 1.98. The upgrade was the on-line upgrade, I was going to use the live disk for an upgrade but it says that it will wipe out all disks and while I don't think that would be a big deal for the root directory, it would be for the home dir. So I skipped it. The reason I got into looking at the grub version is that when I first boot up I get an error that the system is trying to mount hda1 and hda2. I know that sda... is correct, however my machine lost what was the 'normal' boot hard drive that had windows installed and I was running a dual boot to Ubuntu. So I pulled the broken hard drive and moved the ubuntu drive into its position. I am thinking that hda1 and hda2 are artifacts of that. I did find an article on Ubuntu forums: Ubuntu Forum:Installation & Upgrades titled: upgrade 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS error at boot which talks about a very similar problem that I have. And a proposed solution although I don't think they mention the version of grub being used. I was wondering if I upgraded my grub to grub 2 if that might solve the problem...naah its never that easy. So that is the basic story. I'll help all I can. I can even disk image the root if that would help any. Thanks for your help, sorry to be a bother Donald Dunsmore --------------- I have some more information for you because I have spent several hours on this and went through the Ubuntu Forum for help. The first information is from a bash script for firefox info by one of the folks on the forum and then follows the output of the "boot info script 0.55". And last but not least are paths that are presented for flashplugin-nonfree in its properties dialog. Evidently, synaptic never updates based on the actual directories on the drives, is there a way to get it to do that? ====================== NOTE: <<xx xx xx>> are my comments added when I visited the directory/file to see what was going on. Evidently, the purge had worked somewhat but some junk was left around. I tried removing stuff on my own, but either I haven't found it all or the update-manager has a config somewhere that keeps telling it that flashplugin is still around but it can't find it. I dunno. ----------------------------------------- Ubuntu Architecture Linux TiggerDog 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu Version DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS" Firefox Packages firefox install firefox-3.0 install firefox-3.0-gnome-support install firefox-branding install firefox-gnome-support install Firefox binaries /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `../lib/firefox-3.6.16/firefox.sh' /usr/local/bin/firefox: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/local/bin/firefox' (No such file or directory)<<bin is empty>> /opt/firefox/firefox: ERROR: cannot open `/opt/firefox/firefox' (No such file or directory)<<no file and no dir>>> Firefox divertion /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu' (No such file or directory) Sources edgy-universe.list edgy-universe.list.distUpgrade edgy-universe.list.save google-chrome.list google-chrome.list.distUpgrade google-chrome.list.save libreoffice-ppa-lucid.list libreoffice-ppa-lucid.list.save Flash packages flashplugin-nonfree deinstall libflash-mozplugin deinstall libflash0c2 deinstall Plugin locations /home/don/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so<<deleted this one>> Flash symlinks /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so' (No such file or directory)<<<file doesn't exist>>> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so' (No such file or directory)<<<file doesn't exist>>> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin: ERROR: cannot open `/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin' (No such file or directory)<<<file doesn't exist>>> /var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so: ERROR: cannot open `/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so' (No such file or directory)<<<file doesn't exist>>> <<removed /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree folder too>> =========================================================== =========================================================== Boot Info Script 0.55: Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010 ============================= Boot Info Summary: ============================== => Grub 0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #8 for /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst. sda1: _________________________________________________________________________ File system: ntfs Boot sector type: Windows XP Boot sector info: No errors found in the Boot Parameter Block.
