I'm sorry if this end up as a hijack, but I'm assuming this is the same issue...
This seems to be a very common thing. I would suspect plymouth for the problem, since if you do jump out to a TTY during this then the boot seems to complete nicely. In fact, if you jump to tty and then jump back to plymouth it's noticable that it has managed to get much further in the percent compared to what it would have if you just stayed on the plymouth screen... Each time I jump to tty the normal "fsck...clean...non-contiguous #%" message is repeated (one extra each jump) which presumably indicates that fsck has finished, and plymouth (or something else) is messing about with other things... -- fsck at bootstrap is too slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
