My Many Issues Post-UP5

[ddurdle]

I did the rolling update from 4 to 5 this morning. I was hoping for no breaks in the system but I was realistically expecting something to break. Just not as many as I found though.

Within 5 mins after a reboot, I identified the following (which are still to be fixed somehow). I expect if I found this many after 5 mins, the list will double or triple once I actually start using the system.

1) Autokey stops working:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed

2) google-chrome stops working (stable 22 release)
When I start, nothing happens, if I start from a terminal, I see this:

3) Lotus Note 8.5.3 stops working. Loops on "loading.. please wait". Likely one of the plugins is not loading because something it relies on decided to break via UP5.

4) keepass2 stopped working but keepassX continues to function.

Debug info from gdb:

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

Aborted

5) vmware doesn't want to start (I am using the same kernel as before the upgrade so kernel modules are loaded and were not altered as part of the upgrade).

I've updated from UP2 to UP3 to UP4 in the past. They all went relatively smooth, even to UP4.

[ddurdle]

autokey seems to be inflicted by this known issue that has no resolution (that affects all python apps that make use of the gui)
-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/962639

fix (I have not tested yet) -> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688128

I had to rollback to UP4 because I needed to get some work done.

I will try upgrading on a spare machine (uses the same image) and then try some of the fixes. Chrome I was able to fix by installing an earlier version, and the lotus notes I think I have a workaround (but will need to test).

I also noticed vmware didn't work after the upgrade. I went back and edited the post to reflect this. I never had any time to troubleshoot it's issue.
