Running jaunty on virtualbox 2.0.6

me too :)

Still an issue as of November 27 after updating 12:00 -6GMT

It has broke my virtuabox install.

I was able to restore what appeared to be a broken Jaunty installation after receiving this error. In my case, the system would freeze waiting for the gdm login to appear. In order to gain access to another terminal or login prompt, I had to have it boot without the splash, either by removing it as a kernel option or booting into failsafe from the grub menu.

This error prevented other packages from finishing. On a whim, I ran apt-get with the autoremove command which finished setting up about 50 packages. Afterwards, gdm would launch or start without fail.

After today's updates, both libcanberra-gtk0 and gnome-session-canberra are blocked. Because of the latter, ubuntu-desktop is a problem, since it depends on gnome-session-canberra.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.

This is fixed now by the latest ubuntu-meta, however libcanberra-gnome first needs to be manually removed. I think this something that needs to be taken care of by update-manager, or by a Replaces dependency.

Confirming fixed.

Van De Velde patrice - there was really no need to send that reply to every duplicate of this bug report.

OK.
Sorry for the trouble caused, but I do not know enough yet this form of work
with the community.
I will seek to do better next time.
For now, I reinstalled the version 8.04 and everything is back to normal on
my desktop.
And thank you to another time.

Perhaps I found a much easier fix:

dpkg --purge libcanberra-gnome

apt-get -f install

Can someone verify that their system is working after this?

Mine is working now.

quequotion - this bug was fixed ages ago.

Chris, you said on 2009-02-04 that this bug was fixed ages ago. But was it? I installed my system by installing 8.10 and then upgrading to jaunty, on 31 January 2009. And I experienced this problem. So I'm afraid it's not completely fixed!

Indeed, this has regressed with the latest merge. Thanks for spotting that

Here's a debdiff to fix this

applying debdiff from https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/302251/comments/31 and uploading. Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package libcanberra - 0.11-1ubuntu2

---------------
libcanberra (0.11-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - Let libcanberra-gtk0 conflicts/replaces libcanberra-gnome
      (<< 0.10-1) to allow a clean upgrade from Intrepid.
      This was unintentionally dropped at the last merge.
      (LP: #302251)
