Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I arrived here from bug 963106 [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963106]. I thought that it was a problem with network-manager, but it was not. I was suggested that it is probably a problem with upstart : "that modemmanager simply hasn't had time to complete the shutdown process before umountroot is run. Since modemmanager is an upstart job, sendsigs doesn't kill it." lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy upstart: upstart: Installed: 1.5-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 1.5-0ubuntu7 Version table: *** 1.5-0ubuntu7 0 500 http://kambing.ui.ac.id/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.5-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://kambing.ui.ac.id/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages Hope this will be fixed.
