    Version Upgrade Stuck during WVdial install

    Hello. I am doing a version upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. It is stuck configuring wvdial on the installation phase. It sounds like its a dial-up tool, in which case I do not need it (I have DSL). The error is that it "Failed to open device". Is there a way to skip the current step in the install terminal?

    Setting up wvdial (1.56-1.2ubuntu2) ...
    X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
    Major opcode: 144
    Minor opcode: 3
    Resource id: 0x0
    Failed to open device
    X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167
    Major opcode: 144
    Minor opcode: 3
    Resource id: 0x0
    Failed to open device
    I left it running all night, and day when I was at work. Thanks in advance!

    How are you upgrading? Manually or via the upgrade tool?

        OK, try this: open your '/etc/apt/sources.list' file as root:
        Code:
        kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
        Replace your Feisty repos with the following:
        deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
        deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse

        deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
        deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

        deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
        deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

        deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner
        deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner

        deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe multiverse
        deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe multiverse
        The above is from my sources.list; I normally suggest using the Ubuntu sources.list generator to create a new config, but it currently seems to be offline. My config will work just fine, though. Next, save the document, and update you system:
        Code:
        sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade
        When it finishes, if there are no errors, reboot and you should be running Gutsy!!! Let me know how it goes.

          Thanks alot!!
          I did as you said.
          After I rebooted i went to update the sources, and was told i needed to run "dpgk --configure -a" So I did. I was able to skip the wvdial portion with ctrl-c. Did a full-upgrade again, and this time around wvdial finished configuring rather quickly.
          Thanks alot!
