Related to bug 278458. *** Bug 278458 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** So if I understand correctly, when you tried to install some packages Muon was saying that another package manager had the lock (This seems to be a bug where Muon misdiagnoses why the package cache couldn't be opened.), and when you hit the "Unmark All Packages" button, it crashed? My guess is that something is wrong with APT, preventing Muon or Synaptic from acquiring a lock on the package system. (Synaptic acquires the lock when it starts up, explaining why it won't even start. Muon only tries to get a lock when actually installing stuff.) Obviously, Muon shouldn't crash when something goes wrong with APT. I'll have to see what I can do to improve checking if APT initialized correctly. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on a Systemax desktop with dual Celeron 3400 processors and 2 gigs of ram. I can't get Synaptic to appear. I ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a" which usually clears issues with package managers, but Synaptic still did not appear. However, this did enable me to begin to install gnome desktop packages, including gnome-common, which I did not have with Kubuntu. But as soon as the installation began, Muon crashed. I wanted to run Synaptic, because I am very familiar with it. I have actually reinstalled 11.10 twice due to unrelated issues with alsa and pulse, and found that Muon sometimes hung in mid-installation, so I wanted to use Synaptic, which did not have this issue for me. Not having Synaptic, I used Muon, but now am stuck with having no manager for particular packages that I know of. I am not yet real command line savvy. Feel free to communicate with me anytime here or at oakenhelix@gmail.com. I thank you much for volunteering to look into this! *** Bug 286290 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thank you Chris, for keeping me informed. Happy Veteran's Day!
