I had this bug on one my computers, even when I formated the hard drive
and tried to reinstall Ubuntu the same error came up "GLIB WARNING **
GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id" no mater what
edition of Ubuntu I tried to installed I stilled had the same error.
Which mean its not from Ubuntu. I then formated the hard Drive using XP
home edition and started installation and it came up with read error,
That reminded me about a computer I had with a Virus in the BIOS which
wouldn't let me install any operating system, The only way I could get
rid of the virus was to pull the CMOS battery and left it for a couple
of days. I tried Installing Ubuntu with out the CMOS it work with no
error. I now have a working computer.

 I think the "GLIB WARNING ** GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id" is how Ubuntu reacts with the Virus.
