I used "Startup Disk Creator" on my Lucid to setup my USB flash drive with persistent data. And I experience the problem described in bug #500822 and #508944, which both are said to be duplicate of this bug.
It stops booting at the Ubuntu screen, with dots moving beneath. But it never continues. Hitting escape shows the following: (process:320): Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) stdin: error 0 /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found stdin: error 0 stdin: error 0 /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found stdin: error 0 stdin: error 0 stdin: I/O error ........ Praveen B indicates that using usb-creator 0.2.12 is fine, but I checked mine was 0.2.22 already as indicated in Synaptics. Again, the same problem is not observed if the usb is prepared with non- persistent data. -- Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492301 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
