Ugh.. I managed to use the Vim editor to look at the fstab file. But this has no lines starting with /dev/pts at all ! In stead I have
Proc /proc/ proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/hdb1 UUID=23770a95-5eed-4ccd-8530-2255f6e8699 / etx3 nouser, defaults,errors=remount=ro, atime, auto, rw, dev, exec, suid 0 1 # /dev/hdb5 UUID=9c831698-092f-4d14-9edd5-e165f739e554 none none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf, iso9660 user, atime, noauto, rw, dev, exec, suid 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 autouser, atime, noauto, rw, dev, exec, suid, 0 0 <device> /home/swaraj/<mount\040point> auto nouser, noauto, atime, auto, rw, nodev, noexec, nousid 0 0 /dev/scd0 /dev auto nouser, noautoatime, auto, rw, nodev, noexec, nousid 0 0 Where do I start. Does any of this make any difference because I am on Kubuntu - I presume that only comes at UI level and not at the kernel level. thanx again for any pointers. -- Mount of root filesystem failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/468450 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
