Since a few days now I’m running the new version of Ubuntu on my machine and I’m very satisfied about it – again. It’s running properly except for the one or two things. For example:
Installing some deb packages by a simple double click is causing me problems. The error message which I always get is the following one:
unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor
The solution wasn’t very difficult to find. ^^ Type:
sudo dpkg -i foobar.deb
foobar stands for the name of the Debian package. Don’t forget to change to the correct directory.
Another annoying bug is, that I have tried 3 methods to make the shortcut CTRL + F1 available to start a GNOME Terminal, but without success. As soon as I will have the solution, I post it.
Update: After a fourth try it worked. Open the gconf-editor and go to apps –> metacity. Now go to global_keybindings and choose a run_command_x. After you’ve stored the shortcut go to keybinding_commands and enter the exact terminal command in the box of the command_x. Close the app and have fun.
For the rest the system is running fine. The startup itself has increased about 4 or 5 seconds in contrast with 9.04. And the ext4 filesystem is doing a great job as well. The performance increase is notable.
More information are available behind this link.
So stay tuned.

Prometheus
