Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?

[Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
When fsck fails on the root filesystem, the checkroot init script runs /sbin/sulogin which takes care of launching the maintenance shell. This happens at a point before any other filesystem is mounted. All /sbin/sulogin does is basically determine the root users default shell (normally /bin/bash) plus a few other things, then it spawns the shell. It doesn't do anything else and it doesn't read anything from /usr. Because of this, I'm assigning this bug to bash.

[Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
I confirm this, it still exists on Gutsy Gibbon (as of now Tribe 5). This was fsck'ing a drive mounted as /media/sda4 as ext3. fsck fails every time on this, therefore it could be another bug as well. However one behaviour of this bug is that It does not seem to locate any packages at all. It recommends installing it through "sudo apt-get install less" however it fails to find both the sudo and apt packages. -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
I think it has at least partially to do with fsck, and maybe the (un)mount scripts are included in fsck, so lets confirm. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Assignee: Sense Hofstede => (unassigned) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
Excuse me for the long time to response. I think it's almost confirmed, but we need to know the package so the right person is noticed. Does anyone knows which program is responsible for mounting and unmounting things around the fsck check? -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://launchpad.net/bugs/89595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
pretty much the same version anyone running feisty has I guess: GNU bash, version 3.2.10(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. The problem is simple (and there is no need to risk a filesystem). What happens was: - fsck started after a forced reboot (libata is sometimes having trouble... but this is an other reported bug) - fsk should only check unmounted directoryl: everything but / root is unmounted (in my case, that's /var, /usr/, /usr/local, /tmp ). - when checking 'fsck' found things to fix, and because of the default configuration in ubuntu stops there (rather than automatically trying to fix the problem). - fsck stopping causes a start of the maintenance shell, but nothing that was unmounted for the fsck is mounted back. - the maintenance shell missing things in /usr, the show stops here. It was possible for me to fix my disk, but what happened was not something I wished to a less experienced user.

What is the version of bash you're using? Is there anybody else with the same problem? If anybody else has the same problem, the bug is confirmed.

Re: [Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
my "/sbin" in mounted with "/". The error I am reporting is with the maintenance shell (that appears to depend on executables in "/usr").

I forgot /sbin fsck is located in /sbin, so it should be possible to run fsck without error messages I suppose.

[Bug 89595] Re: failure while starting a maintenance shell
O, of course is it impossible to post a log if /var isn't mounted. But I didn't know because the only thing I knew was that only / was mounted. Dis you mention all of the partitions that have to be mounted? But isn't it impossible to run fsck(and almost every other program) if /usr isn't mounted? -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://launchpad.net/bugs/89595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you please give some more > information like the /var/log/fsck/ceckfs file? nop. The maintenance shell started after a problem with fsck and *only "/" was mounted*, as should be mentioned in the bug report - I have "/var" in a different partition, that was not mounted-. The problem with the maintenance shell is that a number of executable could not be found - I have "/usr" mounted on a different partition. (there is an other problem with fsk, that requires manual intervention, but that will be for an other bug report I guess. > ** Changed in: Ubuntu > Assignee: (unassigned) => Sense >Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info > > -- > failure while starting a maintenance shell > https://launchpad.net/bugs/89595 > -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://launchpad.net/bugs/89595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
