Public bug reported: I have Ubuntu 10.04 successfully installed on my eMachines E725, but sometimes when I try to boot Ubuntu, the process stops right before getting to the login window (at least, I guess so - booting lasts as long as usual, but instead of login I encounter this), and in the console a message "GLIb-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" is seen. This doesn't happen often - once in a day or two days. Unfortunately, I haven't identified the steps to reproduce this error.
As I read in the Steve Langasek's post in the bug report #532984: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/532984/comments/27 , the GLIB warning is just a generic warning and doesn't help that much. So, I actually have no idea what information would be meaningful. I executed the command 'ubuntu-bug linux' , as suggested in the post I mentioned. Please let me know if there is a way I can retrieve some more helpful information.
