Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04, using do-release-upgrade
. The upgrade appeared to go successfully. (No errors during the upgrade.)
However, now, every time that I log in, I get this super-helpful error message:
Apparently, this actually means go look in /var/crash. So, I looked in /var/crash
and this is what I found:
ppelleti@patrick64:~$ ls -lht /var/crash
total 1.6M
-rw-r----- 1 root whoopsie 297K Sep 21 18:44 _usr_sbin_lightdm.0.crash
-rw-r----- 1 ppelleti whoopsie 1.3M Sep 21 18:43 _usr_bin_gpk-update-viewer.1000.crash
-rw------- 1 whoopsie whoopsie 0 Sep 21 17:11 _usr_bin_gpk-update-viewer.1000.uploaded
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ppelleti whoopsie 0 Sep 21 17:11 _usr_bin_gpk-update-viewer.1000.upload
ppelleti@patrick64:~$
So it appears that lightdm
and gpk-update-viewer
are crashing. The two .crash
files are huge; what should I look for in them to help diagnose the problem?
Thanks!
