Public bug reported: My system would not boot at all, just freezes when it gets to the display manager. James Hunt debugged the laptop and asked me to file this bug and then he would add more information.
Workaround: Add "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel line in the grub menu. mkdir /dev/shm mount -t tmpfs -onosuid,nodev,noexec none /dev/shm exec /sbin/init Oneric up to date as of 27 June on a Thinkpad X220i ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802632 Title: udev rule doesn't create or mount /dev/shm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/802632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
