I tried restarting the computer but Ubuntu 12.10 still crashes. Bug is repeatable and the same with all reboots.

Is anybody going to help me figure this out or do I have to reinstall Ubuntu? In that case I'll go back to Percise until 12.10 gets debugged.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

I selected a generic kernel from the GRUB menu but that didn't fix the problem. I still get a ubuntu 12.10 crash.Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

Exactly when does the crash happen?Comment

During boot! It just happened again something to do with /usr/bin/synaptic.cfg. I can't find the file! Synaptic seems to work so maybe part of synaptic isn't working right. Kwallet still isn't working properly so maybe its a related problem. I have triedOriginally posted by SteveRiley View Postseveral times then reboot but nothing seems to get fixed.Code:sudo update && dist-update

Well, nothing in the syslog about Synaptic. Your computer appears to take a long time to boot, and you have some disk errors, though.
It sounds rather weird -- a Synaptic error during boot that causes a crash. Does the crash happen before or after the login screen appears?Comment

After login.Originally posted by SteveRiley View Post
I am thinking that maybe I need a BIOS driver for my Segate Glo Flex USB external hard drive that I use for Ubuntu. I think vinney uses a Glo Flex maybe he knows if anything is needed to boot properly. I always have to boot twice when booting from a cold start before the BIOS sees the Glo Flex drive then i see the grub menu. Ubuntu takes a while to figure out how to boot and always claims that my hard drive needs to be checked. I always have to type c and then i to ignore the errors and then wait a bit for it to boot to login. It takes a few seconds after that before I get to the KDE desktop. When I have used Linux in past years with other hardware it booted a lot faster!Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

There is no such thing as a "BIOS driver." Cold-start vs. warm-start could have something to do with the way motherboards apply power to various ports. And yeah, USB is slow; that explains the lengthy boot.
Mind taking a photograph of the post-login screen when the error appears? I assume it's a graphical dialog. I'd like to see it. I don't use Synaptic so I can't guide you through much troubleshooting with that. /usr/bin/synaptic.cfg really sounds quite odd...Comment

Your right. I probably need a firm ware update for my BIOS chip. This lap top is a few years old so, it doesn’t have all that new stuff like secure boot and all that.Originally posted by SteveRiley View PostJust to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.

no I dont have any external HD's ,,,,,but steve is right about it being slower than a internal HD , mite as well be a usb flash drive, I do have a HD enclosure I can put a hard drive in (I have several old desktop HD's laying around )and attach through USB to access it's content though but I do not use it for booting an OS just for storing stuff when my mane HD starts getting full .
are you sure the error is synaptic and not synaptiks ?

Generally, updating the firmware is a good thing. But it won't bring you new features. Especially Secure Boot -- that's not available in BIOS, but instead is an element of UEFI, the replacement for BIOS.Originally posted by steve7233 View Post
Very good question! Indeed, there is a file called /usr/bin/synaptikscfg. Note there's no period in the name, and the letter that ends the "tik" syllable is "k," not "c." This file contains settings for touchpads, and indeed there is a version conflict problem in 12.10 that exhibits itself as a crash. Good sleuthing, Vinny!Originally posted by vinnywright View Post
@Steve7233: let's confirm this. Please show the output of
Yes, I intentionally typed "synap" on purpose.Code:dpkg -l | grep synap
