This is sure surprising:

(frontend:26097): Pango-WARNING **: 01:57:45.798: font_face status is: out of memory

dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--configure):

Do you know how the system got "too many open files" as an error message? that's normally pretty hard to hit.

Thanks

Unfortunately I don't. I let it run, came back a couple hours later and it wasn't accepting my password. I just let it continue. Was able to login in the morning and it finished installing while I was at work. When I got home it worked except for the installation errors posted here.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Since there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then 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, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
