Public bug reported: Binary package hint: casper
Well, first, I don't have seen this personally. As a bug triager, I found a bug with this description, but it seems that this is not the problem reporter really cares about. It make sense, busybox is just a small shell that came alive, only if an other problem happened. And normally, that it the problem that caused busybox to be call that we care. But there seems to be a bug in the way busybox is called, because some bug reports suggest that an error message 'can't access tty; job control turned off' is given when busybox is called. I suppose that then the shell is not accessible, and that it is harder to fix the real problem that caused busybox to be called. It seems many people get this error message, as can be seen on the forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415009&highlight=can%27t+access+tty Seems that many people don't really understand that many many problems can cause busybox to be called, and give this error message. As I see this, this message error should not be shown. What is supposed to happen, is to come to a # prompt where you can give commands, when an error happened with the live cd which was not able to boot normally, for whatever reason. Bug report that make me create this one was bug #127927. Some other bugs showing this symptom are: bug #78380, critical bug #106864, bug #93471, etc. In fact my search for 'job control turned off' returns 81 results: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=job+control+turned+off&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=New&field.status%3Alist=Incomplete&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=Triaged&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package= ** Affects: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- busybox: can't access tty; job control turned off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
