Same issue adding floppy line on /etc/fstab Plus another strange behavior: system wan't shutdown when a floppy was mounted (and of course unmounted before invoking shutdown action from GDM or close session dialog). It seems that init can't close one process; this process seems costantly using the HD (the HD led on computer case stay on), locking the shutdown. This behavior occurs only if I mounted a floppy.
I can't find any intersting info about this in /var/log... Here is a way to display the old text based shutdown info insted usplash? I'll try removing "splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst or using the recovery mode in grub menu (by now I never used it) -- Double click on "Floppy Drive" in Computer location jumps to / directory https://launchpad.net/bugs/66869 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
