Could ureadahead have something to do with this? I noticed this on my laptop when fooling around with ureadahead.
After testing in a vm I can do the following: sudo touch /forcefsck reboot. fsck stalls at 70% for a sec, and the screen jumps directly to the desktop. ls / shows forcefsck still exists for about 40 secs. After removing the pack file for ureadahead and touching /forcefsck again...rebooting gets me a disk check to 70% and the screen goes blank, and it doesn't seem to ever bring up the desktop. host cpu usage is idle. I can ctrl-alt-f1 and log in. /var/lib/ureadahead/pack was created. /forcefsck is never removed next reboot, disk check appears again (because forcefsck wasn't removed), and the desktop is loaded. /forcefsck is removed. It is possible that the above users have been experiencing issues because many updates trigger a reprofile (such as installing/removing the nvidia driver) -- Lucid boot failed to complete after fsck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554079 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
