(Filing this a a separate issue as suggested by Bryce Harrington in comments of Bug #903831.)
With the -intel driver specified in xorg.conf (or without an xorg.conf so that -intel is used), booting Precise with the current 3.2.0-12 always results in a kernel panic. I’ll attach a couple of shots I took of two instances (although to me the panic looks the same in both cases).
This began within the Precise cycle: with the early kernels I was able to boot fine, although Bug #903831 did come up then.
I have yet to try 3.2.0-13 which has just been released. Once package listings pick it up I’ll give it a go and report back.
I’m able to boot by switching to fbdev in xorg.conf (the way I’m reporting this now).
Bug #904853 is related: for a i386 package installed with –force-architecture on an amd64 system, the Synaptic symptom is the same (”The list of installed files is only available for installed packages” ). The info files in /var/lib/dpkg/info don’t have a :i386 in the filename, as (I’m guessing) Synaptic figures for an :i386 package they should.
jani@saegusa:tmp$ ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/lightscribe*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/lightscribe.conffiles /var/lib/dpkg/info/lightscribe.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/lightscribe.postinst
This has been fixed in Precise (if not earlier): libsane depends on libsane-common, which now provides html/sane-mfgs.html.
jani@saegusa:~$ dlocate sane-mfgs.html
libsane-common: /usr/share/doc/libsane/html/sane-mfgs.html
jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache depends libsane | grep libsane
libsane

Suggests: libsane-extras
Replaces: libsane-extras
Replaces: libsane-extras:i386

Breaks: libsane:i386
This also concerns libsane 1.0.22-7ubuntu1 here. I don’t think this is Bug #904853, as I’ve not installed these packages manually, although I can’t vouch if –force-acrchitecture is used automatically by some upgrades.
Confirming this in up-to-date Precise.
The two dialogs are very, very inconsistent: the dialog icon they use (DIALOG_QUESTION in one, the DIALOG_ERROR in the other), the dialog window title (”Application problem” vs. none), the dialog title and explanation style (brief vs. verbose), the ignore option missing from one… It’s almost as if the engineers behind the two dialogs have intentionally tried to make them as different from one another as possible. (No offence intended, I just think it’s funny although it is a genuine accessibility problem as well.) Also, one dialog seems to be minimizable whereas the other is not — though this doesn’t appear in Blair’s screenshot; it may be something introduced in Precise which the system my screenshot is from is running.
Can also be triggered by closing the dialog with mouse using the (x) button.
I tested this in a VM I upgraded from 10.04 all the way up to 11.10, and up until Natty the unlocking dialog still used the correct login@hostname under my full name. In Oneiric, and in Precise which I’m running on the host, it says Linux@Linux instead.
I’ll attach screenshots of the unlocking dialog in 11.04 and 11.10 below.
No nyt ei ainakaan jää, lähetin tiedustelua.
Kuulin Docpointissa esitetystä Herzogin Cave of Forgotten Dreams -elokuvasta liian myöhään: sali oli molempina iltoina täpötäyteen buukattu. Onko pienintäkään mahdollisuutta, että Cave of Forgotten Dreams tulisi myöhemmin uudestaan ohjelmistoon? Se hyödyntää käsittääkseni 3D:tä niin tehokkaasti, että olisi sääli, jos sen saisi nähdä vain kotiteatterin kämäiseltä pikkunäytöltä.
