I have os-prober installed but removing it and updating initramfs and grub doesn't solve the issue. > I would try installing a fresh 14.10 system (maybe in a VM) and comparing > those directories in your fresh environment with your main system environment. I have now installed the daily ISO of Ubuntu 14.10 dev but have same troubles with it. After entering the password in the login window nothing happens. The login window simply gets stuck but I'm still able to use the mouse and the few menu entries (like to reboot the system). Also it seems that my USB storage device isn't working with VirtualBox so I can't copy the related files for comparing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348784 Title: thermald prevents unmounting /dev/sda1 in recovery mode Status in “thermald” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with thermald 1.2-1 and if the system is started in the recovery mode it is not possible to unmount /dev/sda1 because thermald is running. Interestingly lsof hasn't even showed that something has a file descriptor on /dev/sda1 open but executing "stop thermald" has worked as a workaround. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-18-generic root=UUID=af27feae-4c9e-4b5f-a1e1-900c0e71c5cb ro elevator=cfq ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-18.25-generic 3.16.3 Tags: utopic Uname: Linux 3.16.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UpstartBugCategory: System UpstartRunningSystemVersion: init (upstart 1.13.2) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True modified.conffile..etc.lxdm.lxdm.conf: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.init.control.alt.delete.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:11.434470 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty2.conf: 2014-05-29T05:14:16.791093 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty3.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:49.238469 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty4.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:58.066468 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty5.conf: 2012-05-05T17:11:02.938468 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty6.conf: 2012-05-05T17:11:09.442468 mtime.conffile..etc.lxdm.lxdm.conf: 2012-12-23T19:04:26.948844 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1348784/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
