Please upload the crash report ubuntu generated. In case you already dismissed it, you can rerun apport by executing

Afterwards, let apport upload the crash report and tell us here about the new bug number.

i have the same problem. aptoncd just vanishes in the middle while reading the packages at around 40-60%.
it has made this software pretty useless . it used to be fine in hardy.

But this behavior is typically seen when the number of packages are very high eg. around 700.

on running aptoncd in the terminal i get the following output.

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
FATAL -> Failed to fork.

i ran the command touch /var/crash/_usr_bin_aptoncd.*.crash
nothing happens. and the file is empty.

Hi Rafael,

so thanks for the good work. For me this is fixed now. The .xsession-errors file still gives some errors, but I have not experienced any. You can compare the memory behaviour with the screenshots in my other bugs:

Hi there Laudeci,

also thank you to you.

The screenshots in this bug report were all after the fix.

Our last two messages must have crossed.

Sorry about that.

I can do sudo apt-get remove aptoncd, to make new screenshots of the previous thing? Or maybe an Strace? I will check the image tommorow to check if it is not corrupt. I made two images actually, the second one with no other applications running. The pattern is the same, two parallel lines for RAM and swap, and only one of my dual cores (CPU) is used, all is written away to the SATA Hitachi hard disk. In the previous version all was written away to the RAM. I had noticed this because I had to remove one of my two 2 GB memory chips, since the BIOS provided by Acer would not allow for 4 GB, as it was preinstalled with Vista 32-bit, although officially they advertised it could do that. After I removed one of the chips, some bugs disappeared, but the aptoncd thing just occured more rapidly, hence it had to be the RAM usage by aptoncd, but it is fixed now.

Thanks,

Thomas.

Hi there,

I think you can change this to fix commited. I used my rsync image and my aptoncd image to install 8.10 beta on VirtualBox 2.0.2 under 8.10 beta (also). I could not use the restore unfortunately, since I did not download your patch, but did a clean install through gdebi. I was using my huawei 169 modem in roaming mode at the time and it was malfunctioning. Anyway, I will now reinstall my system as I have broken it. I suspect all will go fine, I will report back in a couple of hours.

Hi there,

Sorry it took me so long. As I suspected everything went smooth. I reinstalled from rsynced 8.10 beta cd and an aptoncd image of 2 GB. The only problem was really that the dbg and dbgsym debugging symbol packages were not reinstalled. Is there a way to fix this? I now have to run '$ apt-cache search <package*name> | grep "dbg"' and reinstall all dbg packages manually. Thanks for the great work and please include the patch in the final release!

Cheers,

I get the above error and I have monitored the memory usage during this process. It goes to a threshold of 97.2% (out of my 2 GB ram) and actually starts to increase the swap usage too. But on about 200 MB of swap the operations fails with the above error. aptoncd window get closed. So it seems like 2GB memory is also not enough these days :-D. Thinking of buying another 2G card ( just kidding ). See the screenshot.

Good news to all, this bug is I think now solved, as I downloaded the latest aptoncd package from

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/aptoncd/aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb

and installed in my new jaunty 9.04 installation, it worked fine and i made a 550mb addon cd with it which really worked great.

So here is a short howto for this,

1- First I downloaded this package from sourceforge (aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb)
2- This package need a dependency nautilus-cd-burner,
   and its in jaunty repository also, you could also download it separately as
   all dependecies for it are full filled in the base installation of jaunty.
3- First you should install nautilus-cd-burner, it will ask for removal of
   Braseiro (Default cd burning software in jaunty installation)and a lib file
   for baseiro. It will be removed when nautilus-cd-burner will be installed.
4- Now install aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb and it will work fine with even large no.
   of packages.

I did it yesterday after reading all about this bug and now its really working fine.
Thanks to latest version of aptoncd.

Its very simple that if nautilus-cd-burner remove 2 files and one like braseiro you could simply make any cd by installing latest aptoncd and than after making cd you could again revert to your original condition by installing brasiero. any how nautilus-cd-burner is also working great for me, but no doubt braseiro is the interface i like more too.

aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all.deb could easily make 200 mb cd, but problem is when you increase the no of packages and your size increase from 300mb, If you could please check that and send here the result it will be helpful.

So best of luck if you need braseiro :) As these are just two packages when i need to make a cd i use latest aptoncd and than uninstall it, as i don't need to do it 100 times in one day :) i needed it once in month or even longer time, so not much problem for me :)

I am new to Ubuntu by a few months. I have learned a lot but I am unclear. I have 9.04 and experience the same memory problem with AptOnCD. I downloaded the update listed above as having worked, the 1.98 all fix. When I doubleclick to install the debian package, it opens the synamptic package manager but "install" button is not available. When I run "sudo apt-get install packagewhatever" it says that it can not find the package even though it is in the directory that I am working with in terminal. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

I too am new to ubuntu but have used few previous releases. Aptoncd package which resolved all my problems was found on sourcefoge at this link:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/aptoncd/aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb
its version is 1-1 not 1.98. The next thing which you are telling that when you click a package, the installer which open is gdebi, and install button will be available only if all dependencies and conflicts are satisfied. Finally apt-get install will work only if the required package is in the selected repositories for apt.

I guess my question is that most people seem to say that the 1.98_all listed above fixed their problem without dropping our burner and picking up nautilus burner. I downloaded the same file that was listed above and it will not install, so what am I doing wrong? I have read a little about the 1-1 version, but I do not want to drop my burner program for nautilus right now.

Please don't abuse the launchpad bug tracker as a support forum. Use Launchpad Answers or the ubuntuforums instead.

The reason why you can't install the 0.1.98 version is that it was built for python 2.5 and it conflicts with python 2.6. It is not an official release, but it is newer than the 0.1 version which you get from sourceforge.
Using the old version 0.1 is just a workaround.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks version from sourceforge aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb really work well on my desktop with ubuntu 9.04. Other version 0.1.98 is confirmed buggy.

Installing the aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb is useless because the package manager reports broken packages and the 'apt-get -f install' removes that version and 'autoupgrades' with the 0.1.98 (which is not working as 'crashes' with FATAL -> Failed to fork)

So we are waiting for the fixed 1.98 :) any how aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb works well and I made today a 1.4GB DVD with that. Surely apt-get -f will remove it if it have the other one in the package repository. But till we get the fix i find this one very useful.

The problem with the latest version is it uses RAM and SWAP instead of HDD... aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb uses only like 150 MB of RAM...

here is a patch to solve it

download the fix here http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18476205/aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all.deb

you must have installed python 2.5 or 2.6 from synaptic first , if you have the 2 of them much better

install the fix from the terminal with this command
sudo dpkg -i --force-all aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all.deb

and ready ! the installation must give you some problems about dependencys but its no trouble, later of finish you are ready to use APTONCD

post here if it solve it for you

i use jaunty 9.04, sorry my bad english

It (aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all) installs, but he is as a broken package. Then necessary to bring up to date it. Whenever necessary to use it, I have that to make everything of new.

For me, I don't have a problem with the package in the repos in a fresh jaunty. I do get this error if I choose to reload the package data after it has already scanned once. I do not have nautilus-cd-burner installed but do have brasero.

Although "aptoncd_0.1.98-0ubuntu4_all.deb" doesn't work in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.
I am trying to run aptoncd installed from ubuntu repo's and the problem still exists. AptonCD crashes at about 30-40% when collecting packages.
I also tried to install the deb package you gave the link here, but it cannot be installed because it asks for python2.6 although ubuntu 9.04 installs 2.6 version even when I type sudo apt-get install python2.5

It looks like the version made of aptoncd by the ubuntu team cannot handle sizes approximately 1GB and bigger. To solve this I had to remove basero and libasero and install aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb from the aptoncd website together with dependencies. It works like a charm and it also shows on gnome add/remove that aptoncd is installed. I just finished creating an aptoncd repos dvd of 3.8GB

eschwinger (eschwinger) wrote :

For those with the python dependency problem, synaptic package manager can install python 2.5/2.6/3.0 so just use it to install python and you are good to go. Then install nautilus-cd-burner which would remove brasero and libbrasero-media0. sorry for the misspelling of brasero in the previous post

I think most of us asking for bug fixing because ubuntu repository still uses 0.1.98. For that I'm asking you to send update notification to ubuntu community for updating APTonCD in ubuntu repositories.
