Further to my comments #28, #29, and #30: to confirm, the issue appears to be unrelated to nvidia, xorg.conf, etc. Just had the same happen on my HP G60-530US Notebook. That machine is using: *-display:0 description: VGA compatible controller product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation
This machine also stopped at 71%. ssh'ing into the machine (as I did on the other) and looking at the processes shows: $ ps -e PID TTY TIME CMD 1 ? 00:00:00 init 2 ? 00:00:00 kthreadd 3 ? 00:00:00 migration/0 4 ? 00:00:00 ksoftirqd/0 5 ? 00:00:00 watchdog/0 6 ? 00:00:00 migration/1 7 ? 00:00:00 ksoftirqd/1 8 ? 00:00:00 watchdog/1 9 ? 00:00:00 events/0 10 ? 00:00:00 events/1 11 ? 00:00:00 cpuset 12 ? 00:00:00 khelper 13 ? 00:00:00 netns 14 ? 00:00:00 async/mgr 15 ? 00:00:00 pm 17 ? 00:00:00 sync_supers 18 ? 00:00:00 bdi-default 19 ? 00:00:00 kintegrityd/0 20 ? 00:00:00 kintegrityd/1 21 ? 00:00:00 kblockd/0 22 ? 00:00:00 kblockd/1 23 ? 00:00:00 kacpid 24 ? 00:00:00 kacpi_notify 25 ? 00:00:00 kacpi_hotplug 26 ? 00:00:00 ata/0 27 ? 00:00:00 ata/1 28 ? 00:00:00 ata_aux 29 ? 00:00:00 ksuspend_usbd 30 ? 00:00:00 khubd 31 ? 00:00:00 kseriod 32 ? 00:00:00 kmmcd 35 ? 00:00:00 khungtaskd 36 ? 00:00:00 kswapd0 37 ? 00:00:00 ksmd 38 ? 00:00:00 aio/0 39 ? 00:00:00 aio/1 40 ? 00:00:00 ecryptfs-kthrea 41 ? 00:00:00 crypto/0 42 ? 00:00:00 crypto/1 45 ? 00:00:00 pciehpd 54 ? 00:00:00 kstriped 55 ? 00:00:00 kmpathd/0 56 ? 00:00:00 kmpathd/1 57 ? 00:00:00 kmpath_handlerd 58 ? 00:00:00 ksnapd 59 ? 00:00:00 kondemand/0 60 ? 00:00:00 kondemand/1 61 ? 00:00:00 kconservative/0 62 ? 00:00:00 kconservative/1 283 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_0 284 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_1 285 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_2 286 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_3 287 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_4 288 ? 00:00:00 scsi_eh_5 301 ? 00:00:00 usbhid_resumer 320 ? 00:00:00 jbd2/sda7-8 321 ? 00:00:00 ext4-dio-unwrit 322 ? 00:00:00 ext4-dio-unwrit 337 ? 00:00:05 plymouthd 355 ? 00:00:00 flush-8:0 358 ? 00:00:07 mountall 381 ? 00:00:00 upstart-udev-br 384 ? 00:00:00 udevd 537 ? 00:00:00 kpsmoused 705 ? 00:00:00 iwlagn 706 ? 00:00:00 phy0 719 ? 00:00:00 i915 765 ? 00:00:00 hd-audio0 818 ? 00:00:00 smbd 828 ? 00:00:00 rsyslogd 831 ? 00:00:00 sshd 832 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon 843 ? 00:00:00 smbd 862 ? 00:00:00 gdm-binary 863 ? 00:00:00 NetworkManager 868 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon 870 ? 00:00:00 avahi-daemon 871 ? 00:00:00 modem-manager 873 ? 00:00:00 console-kit-dae 940 ? 00:00:00 gdm-simple-slav 967 tty7 00:00:00 Xorg 978 ? 00:00:00 udevd 981 ? 00:00:00 udevd 992 tty4 00:00:00 getty 1007 ? 00:00:00 kerneloops 1019 tty5 00:00:00 getty 1022 ? 00:00:00 wpa_supplicant 1026 tty2 00:00:00 getty 1027 tty3 00:00:00 getty 1031 tty6 00:00:00 getty 1037 ? 00:00:00 acpid 1038 ? 00:00:00 cron 1039 ? 00:00:00 atd 1085 ? 00:00:00 cupsd 1245 tty1 00:00:00 getty 1267 ? 00:00:00 nmbd 1269 ? 00:00:00 plymouth 1270 ? 00:00:00 sshd 1370 ? 00:00:00 sshd 1371 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 1397 pts/0 00:00:00 ps While ssh'ed into the machine: $ sudo killall plymouthd kills off plymouth and I automatically get gdm with the standard login screen. Login is succesful and the desktop comes up fine. So... my guess would be that this is indeed a plymouth issue. Unfortunately you can't just purge plymouth as it's too tightly integrated into 10.04 & simulating a purge indicates that it would remove just about everything desktop related. -- Lucid boot failed to complete after fsck https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554079 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
