I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Dell Inspiron 6400 and from the very first boot after installation I began receiving this error:
I am getting "ureadahead main process (319) terminated with status 5" or sometimes "ureadahead main process (329) terminated with status 5" during boot. Sometimes the boot fails but sometimes it completes successfully. I /do/ have my /var directory in a separate partition. I've done some googleing and see that separating my /var away from my / partition seems to be the cause of my problem, but I don't see any reasonable good solutions. Does the solution nosco propose in Comment #23 above seem reasonable? (namely, sudo sed -i 's+^start on starting mountall+start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var+' /etc/init/ureadahead.conf) I was playing around with removing the pack files and disabling the ureadahead.conf file and I discovered that I have NO pack files in /var/lib/ureadahead/pack. Perhaps this is the source of the problem? Just hoping to include more clues that might help give a reasonable resolution to folks getting this error. -- boot fails [...] ureadahead [...] terminated with status 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542334 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
