In this case you should see on your screen a line that reads '[SM]'. If you press 'S', boot will continue without mounting the file system ("skip"). If you press 'M', you will be given a recovery shell ("maintenance"). Unfortunately this isn't the least bit discoverable right now; I think that's a mountall bug, because users are given no hints as to the meaning of that line on the screen. ** Also affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- mountall status clobbers passphrase prompt with plymouth text plugin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
