Public bug reported:
After installing Ubuntu 8.04 with wubi-8.04.exe on D: partition, near
an XPHome on Fat 32, it works perfectly (2.6.24-16-generic), starts
with usual login (name and password) and successfully can be used.
After recently upgrading to 2.6.24-17-31-generic and rebooting does
not offers the usual login (name and password) but appears a black
screen and the following text on it:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
Now any command found in the help list of commands, even if with correct
syntax as red from the BusyBox documentation nothing happens but
a text appears: command can not find, etc.
I can not stop this shell to continue with the log-in procedure!
Ctrl-Alt-Del gets me back to reboot and all happens again, except,
when I press ESC and select the 2.6.24-16-generic instead of 17-gen.
After these operation I can log-in and use the system.
This behaviour is not user friendly, specially to unskilled users who
do not know how to act and never wants to use terminal like
commands, only the graphic shell!!!!
Is this a possible bug or it could be intentional? (This last option is not in
accordance with the indicated Ubuntu project aims.)
The noticed behaviour is when after the prompt that is (initramfs) I write:
'busybox exit' it answers with: 'there is no or missing applet'
and waits an other command. Hi! If commands starts with 'busybox' always
there is the same answer and, if only a command is given according to the
busybox syntax the answer always command not found.
The circle is closed!
