Fsck stops at boot, how to debug?

2010-02-05 Thread David MENTRE
Hello, The regular fsck that occurs at the boot of my Ubuntu Karmic x86_64 machine is stopping (once at 83%, once at 90%). The disk is inactive (led off). I can reboot the machine through Ctrl+Alt+Del. How can I debug such a situation? Best regards, david -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list

updating to the PPA seems to have fixed the problem.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo-dock/+bug/509419 comment 2 or 3 so the version that ships with karmic is broken, it could probably use an update. On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Rene Veerman rene7...@gmail.com wrote: OMG,

well developed as-is. You are kidding, right? It amazes me that someone would say such a thing. I can tell you right now that the competition (Apple, and, yes, even Microsoft) do not have this attitude. While Ubuntu in its current form is a great distribution, it is by no means perfect and is

Fsck stops at boot, how to debug?

2010-02-05 Thread Dane Mutters
If you are unable to complete fsck on that partition from the live CD, you may have a bad hard drive (bad sectors, etc.). To test for that, boot onto a live CD, open a Terminal, and use this command: sudo badblocks -svb 4096 /dev/sda This will test the integrity of hard drive /dev/sda. Please
