Recently, my system was upgraded "accidently" to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (I was unprepared to do the upgrade from 8.04LTS (had not finished my research), and I accidently pressed the upgrade button in error. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late - and so had to finish the upgrade process.)
When the 10.04 LTS system finally restarted, it "hung" during the reboot. In trying to discover what was going on, I pressed CTRL-C, thinking that at worst something would stop. Nothing happened. I started to press CTRL-C again and hit the "F" key instead. That is when I discovered that fsck had detected a filesystem error, and that I had just told it to "FIX" an unknown problem because a hidden prompt was waiting for input! This is NOT a good way to do things... (By the way, while I have only been using Linux for a couple of years, I have been in I.T. for over 45 years.) -- [details.so] No prompt for [S]kip or [M]anual recovery on server boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563916 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
