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? Thanks in advance. ** Tags

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)

Because of this, I'm assigning this bug to bash. we cannot control what the user adds to the .profile and .bashrc scripts. afaics everything in the profile scripts shipped with hardy (and later) is guarded. reassigning to base-files. I don't think this is a problem; if users do change the files

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

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

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

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. But I don't think anyone want to risk a broken filesystem to reproduce this bug. -- 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

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

I forgot /sbin fsck is located in /sbin, so it should be possible to run fsck without error messages I suppose. I've got a lot to learn. -- failure while starting a maintenance shell https://launchpad.net/bugs/89595 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com
