Update Kubuntu Doesnt Work!

[JontheEchidna]

The reason for the freeze around this percentage point is fairly well known, the configuration of an application needs user intervention like choosing to overwrite an existing file or having the default installed.
That particular screen is due to a bug in Muon not always shown so it waits forever.
By using Synaptic or a terminal you will avoid this problem.

What this probably was is the dpkg hang bug during long installations that was fixed in 1.2.3. Debconf prompts are handled just fine.

I had the same issue with updating only mine made it to an astoundingly frustrating 94%. I tried the --configure -a command and got a ton of dependancy errors. Also, the same when I used Install -f.

[Boom]

Mine is stuck at 48% "Preparing to configure KDEMultimedia-kio-plugins"
Cannot cancel
Cannot shutdown

Now, that's just what I was looking for. I was so happy that finally Kubuntu could handle my wireless settings, which no KDE-centric distro could do flawless a few years back, and got really enraged when after installation the full update went limp and froze. As it still only is an installation inside Windows 7 with Wubi, I took chances and installed and updated again, and again, with similar results. Update just froze somewhere between 43% and 48%, with different packages displayed each time. Finally, I switched over to Ubuntu and decided to give Unity a try, but it's definitely not what I was looking for when I looked for an alternative to Windows. As the update just went fine on Unity, I blamed the KDE/Wubi-configuration. Good to know it's "just" the update manager that I have not even heard of before (I missed roughly two years of Linux...).

So, I will re-install Kubuntu again and will do the update via console. Thank you for bringing me back to the blue gears :-D
