I had the same symptoms as Damien desribed in #9 (no automount of external drives, shutdown or restart was not possible as user). I used a similar workaround as Sepero pointed out in #10 (ubuntuforum link).
My workaround were the following 2 steps: edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf old: "start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo" new: "start on filesystem and started rsyslog and net-device-up IFACE=lo" apt-get install ifupdown --reinstall --purge Environment: - Lucid 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 01:38:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux - NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 195.36.24 -- Active VT tracking can fail at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 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
