Same thing happened to me.. Back on 7.10 after a couple of hours of re-installing / re-configuring… Guess I’ll be waiting for the official release now…

I had quite a handful of installs as well.. All would work fine for like a couple of hours or so.. And then one update spoils all fun… My Xserver crashed like a million times and the notebook LCD used to flicker.. Any idea what is the issue ???!!

I guess its fixed as the launchpad has this…. “Fixed packages (version 2.7-9ubuntu2) are now on archive.ubuntu.com.”
I will cross my fingers on the reboot.

Can I ask, is the library fixed or has it just been pulled? Because I upgraded 2 systems over the course of the last 2-days and they both have libc6 v.2.7-9 installed. I haven’t rebooted, and wondering if I should downgrade to version v.2.7-5 before I reboot. Thx

This is such an awesome example of how UBUNTU trumps microsuck windows. As I have posted to my blog if this were a windows update that was breaking systems it would have took at least 2 months for microsuck to release an update to the update that broke the system. It took UBUNTU less than 24hrs.

I just did another 36 updates after the 20 and rebooted. Everything is fine still. I think the problem has been SOLVED. My blog http://nudepenguin.net has the screenshots.
