Damien, i had the symptoms (no automount of external drives and shutdown/restart not working as user) described above in this bug at 99% of my reboots (On my new box since 4 weeks nearly with every daily boot - it's a workstation, not a server). As I had other priorities on this new box (i870 with ssd) I had just ignored this UI shutdown-problem ( sudo shutdown -h 0 works well :) ). As i am not familiar with consolekit and boot process, I have no clue for which string or which startup sequence I need to look with the stock ubuntu consolekit package. I have not systematic tested with the stock Ubuntu package, what's the difference in the error-case and the good-case was.
If Lennie is interested in, he can build a ppa with debug logging, but without the re-try fix, so I can try to reproduce the bug on my box with a nearly original Lucid-consolekit package, but with more logging. Additionally what could be helpful: I will reboot several times with the original stock Ubuntu consolekit package to be sure, that I can reproduce the bug on this box (to validate my 99% failure rate without any fix...). -- Active VT tracking can fail at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 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
