I decided to perform a network upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 to natty using Update Manager. After all download of packages was completed install began, and now the install is stuck with the following output on the terminal (yes, I have spanish version).

Configurando lirc (0.8.7-0ubuntu4.2) ... Instalando una nueva versión del fichero de configuración /etc/init.d/lirc ... * Loading LIRC modules

Below are the processes that have been running since like three hours. So I asume they are hung.

$ ps -ef | grep lirc

root     12417 29713  0 11:31 pts/3    00:00:00 grep lirc

Is there any way I can make the upgrade install to proceed and at least have a usable system after I reboot my machine?

May the folowing bug be related with this update issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/lirc/+bug/778026

Please let me know which other details should I give so you can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

After this issue when upgrading through network, I finally restarted and, as I expected, my system was unusable. So I had to install ubuntu natty from scratch. Maybe the option I must have taken from beginning... – Cedric Jun 16 '11 at 3:46
