Jappreet, sorry we weren't able to get to this while you were still running 12.04.
Did you keep any other artifacts from your system. We've tried pretty hard to eliminate any leftover process problems on shutdown, so anything you can provide to help us reproduce this issue would be helpful. I'm marking this Incomplete since there's not enough here. One final question, what is the source of this usptart job: Mar 6 14:35:44 jappreet-desktop kernel: [ 9297.679147] init: usplash main process (4744) terminated with status 127 I cannot find an official upstart job called usplash. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947341 Title: not cleanly unmounting filesystem (root hdd ie sdb1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/947341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
