Ubuntu

After upgrade from 14.04 to14.10 there are some problems with my Ubuntu

Asked by Niels Haver

When starting up messages were shown:

[ 1.947713] i8042: No controller found
[ 29.720046] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe
º Restoring resolver state... [ok]
º Not starting fancontrol: run gunconfig first [ok]
º Starting unid generator unidd

Updatemanager showed the messages:

Not all the updates can be installed.
Perform a partial upgrade to install updates as much as possible

This can be caused by:
*A not completed previous upgrade;
*Problems with installed programs;
*Not-official packages which are not delivered by Ubuntu;
*Normal changes of a not yet launched version of Ubuntu.

[Settings] [Partial upgrade] [Continue]

When using the Boot Repair tool a second shortcut of Windows 7 was added to the GRUB-menu

Windows 7 (loader) (at /dev/sda1)
Windows 7 (loader) (at /dev/sda2)

The VLC media player does not work. It worked well in the previous versions.

Here is the link to the Boot repair summary of my pc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8989659/

Many thanks in advance

Then why did you updgrade? Considering that Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019 and Utopic is only supported til July 2015...why the upgrade?

1. You language settings seem strange to me:
The output of dpkg--audit looks Portuguese to me, but the output of apt-get is Dutch?

2. You definitely have a problem with dependencies, and there are still some packages for a PPA for trusty installed on your utopic system.

What is the output of the command
grep xorg /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

(It might be possible, that re-enabling the xorg-edgers PPA helps solving your problem.)

I have both language settings for Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch installed on my pc

The dpkg audit recommended reinstallation of the packages because the control scripts of md5sum are missing

apt-get --simulate upgrade shows 20 packages are not updated

apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade shows 20 packages are to be updated and 10 deleted

You might try:

issue the terminal command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xorg-edgers-ppa-trusty.list

edit the contents that there are the lines

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu utopic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu utopic main

Save the file and close the editor

try
sudo apt-get update
apt-get --simulate upgrade
apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade

and check what the package manager now wants to do.

Niels Haver (nielshaver) said : 		#11

I have issued the terminal command. Uncommented the lines and changed trusty for utopic. Then I performed sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get autoremove and with the updatemanager I performed a partial upgrade. All the outputs of apt-get --simulate upgrade and dist-upgrade were cleared.

The problem with receiving updates is resolved, however the messages during starting up remain the same.

Should I continue with actions recommended by the dpkg-audit?

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#12

One step after the other one. My current aim is to get the package management problems solved, the boot error messages have to wait.

What is now the output of the terminal commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg --audit

There is still a small error in your package management configuration: One of the sources uses the repository for saucy, although you are using the utopic release.

What is the output of the terminal commands

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;
apt-cache policy adobereader-ptb dhcp3-client dhcp3-common google-chrome-stable

1. yannubuntu/boot-repair has package versions for utopic, so you should update the version indicator

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-ubuntu-boot-repair-utopic.list
change "saucy" to "utopic", save the file and close the editor.

2. the four packages that are listed by dpkg --audit seem not relevant any more.
dhcp3-client and dhcp3-common were dummy transitional packages for precise and can be deleted.

google-chrome-stable version 11.* is completely outdated. If you want to install the current version, you would have to either acticate http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ as additional source, or you can install the chromium browser.

And adobereader-ptb is also an outdated version.

I recommend you just uninstall these four packages.

Then your package management system should be in a consistent state again.

At System settings, Software & updades I activated http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ as additional source

Using Synaptic package manager I desinstalled the 3 other packages

sudo dpkg --audit has an empty output

Adjusting the package management configuration did work out well.
I am normally receiving updates.
I removed and installed VLC and I was able to watch a DVD

Re-enabling the xorg-edgers PPA did help solving my problem.
At System Settings, Software & Updates, Additional Drivers I switched back from the NIVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.123 to the X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver from xserver-org-video-nouveau (open-source).

During start up I see no boot error messages (just during a very short moment my TV doesn't receive a signal)
and no pop-ups accusing a system error.

Manfred many thanks for your assistance.
