<pre>Hello,
I can get myself out of most messes but I just got this system running
the way I like it.
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite P750-11S laptop with Ubuntu 12.10
(desktop, amd64)
I thought I'd go ahead and add the bumblebee ppa to get some power
saving with drivers for the nvidia GeForce GT 540M.
All was going well as I did the following:
stevan@casper:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
stevan@casper:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
stevan@casper:~$ sudo apt-get update
stevan@casper:~$ sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
linux-headers-generic
The install hung at:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
After 15 min sitting I tried:
stevan@casper:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu0.2) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
I've done the usual google search for forums and have come up short.
Help
At this stage I'm backing up the system before I go further.
Anyone with a simple fix for initramfs-tools.
Stevan
