Public bug reported:
My ununtu desktop failed to boot one day, saying no init found. I could not
get past this, including going back to previous configurations.
So I downloaded the latest version, burned a CD and tried to install that.
Booting from the CD is OK, but I can't get my old user data. The old /home/ is
extracted under some ecryptfs scheme, with instructions to run
ecryptfs-mount-private, which crashes with the message private directory is
not set up correctly.
Tried to install from the CD (before after reboot - same result) - use
the option to upgrade and keep the old user account, but the install
fails with partition manager failed with 141 - goodbye.
What does 141 mean? Is there any way I can recover that data?
