I tried arand's plymouth and mountall packages from stable and they work... sort of. With the patches:
* fsck now proceeds at normal speed * Pressing C is no longer ignored That's the good news. The "sort of" goes with the second point. Pressing C ought to resume the normal boot process, preferably with some sort of user-friendly message like, "File check skipped." Instead, pressing C produces the following message: Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for / Press I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery First of all, no, serious errors were not found. Plymouth is just saying that. Secondly, pressing I, S, or M is ignored. This behavior is mentioned in the forums, so it's probably a separate (as of yet unreported) bug. Just thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9255657 -- fsck progress stalls at boot, plymouthd/mountall eats CPU 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
