I have a similar experience to Geostar1024 (#25) At the boot splash (white logo/black background) I get:
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: /: waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid_of_my_partition_sda1> /tmp: waiting for (null) : waiting for Press ESC to enter recovery shell ESC gives a root prompt and a mounted partition sda1 but mounted read-only. If I change that with: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 I can then type 'exit' and I finally get a gnome desktop as normal. Each time I re-boot, though, I have to go through the same process. I tried altering /boot/menu/menu.lst to remove 'splash' from the kernel line (as suggested above) but it made no difference. (I had to do this because ESC wasn't giving me a grub menu). I think this is related to encryption, which I'd put on a .Private subdirectory in ~/. I experienced problems and attempted to uninstall it; something may be left over. I don't get asked at boot for any passphrase. -- mountall 0.2.5 and cryptsetup fail to boot when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456274 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
