For the sake of not being "totally useless" here's what I recall of this story, this happened on mom-in-law machine, so there's nothing more I can contribute, being in other city as of now.
I have been testing gutsy alpha, beta and final on that machine. Always using the update-manager GUI for the updates. On the last update if requested for a "partial upgrade" which I accepted and I also agreed with it to "remove obsolete packages" or something similar. After the reboot the problem was there, showing on dmesg on a terminal, I had an usable gnome desktop, but my NTFS partitions won't show on the desktop or auto mount and I had the problem of the CD tray not opening completely. All the symptoms were resolved once evms was removed using aptitude. Hope this helps and keep up the great work. -- Device-mapper errors: dm-linear, lookup failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115616 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
