I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 for about 10 days now, and I've see this error message twice when booting up. Note that this is not happening to me while installing Ubuntu, unlike what has been reported by other users, but when booting the computer up.
I see the Ubuntu logo with the white and red dots, and like after the fourth change of color of the dots, the screen turns black and displays "(process:334): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" The laptop is then not responsive to the keyboard (like CtrlAltF1, CtrlAltBackspace, etc), it will only respond to a CtrlAltDelete that will display the Ubuntu logo again to restart the computer. After it has rebooted, I get to the normal login window. ** Summary changed: - getpwuid_r(): failed du to unknown user id (0) + getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) -- getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572279 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
