That's true for sure. With this in mind it is definitely a shame that Canonical tries to prevent users from un-installing plymouth by artificially setting plymouth as dependency for mountall. It is not an artificial dependency. *mountall cannot communicate with the user without plymouth.* There must be some framework for multiplexing boot-time I/O in order to let packages like mountall communicate with the user, and that framework is plymouth. There aren't even any other contenders in the field. And your persistent sniping here about Ubuntu design decisions is an inappropriate use of the bug system.

There is a task for Linux Mint on this bug already, and its status has been set to 'fix released' by a Mint developer, apparently on the basis that the lucid-updates version of mountall was copied into Linux Mint 9. I believe it's the status of *this* task that the Mint users are concerned with. Unfortunately, the Launchpad bug workflow doesn't make this at all clear. (I think for this reason it might be better for derivatives to use separate bugs for tracking issues, instead of tasks on Ubuntu bugs.) There are also comments that the bug is still reproducible with 10.04 with much lower frequency. This may be true; when this bug was being worked on, the analysis was that there was still a bug in plymouth here, just one with much less user impact now that the mountall side has been fixed. However (as you know, but it appears the users subscribed to this bug do not), LTS does not mean that all bugs reported against that release will be fixed; it means that security support, upgrade support, and commercial support are provided, and that bugfixes will be made on a best-effort basis. And there are a number of other plymouth bugs present that are higher-impact than this one, so it is unlikely that this bug will receive further attention for 10.04. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Such things happen when releases are time based instead of when it's done. What is a LTS-release worth when takes months to become ready for use.They are almost done approximately with second point release, so remaining sevice period is by far less then advertised. The bug was reported on 2010-04-29. When was Lucid released? 2010-04-29. Given the complexity of this bug, as you would have discovered if you had actually read through the original comments, it was not an easy one to identify. When did it get fixed *in Lucid*? 2010-05-09. That's 10 days after release. Ten days for a tough bug like this one. I believe we deserve a little credit. Then Mint appears, without deploying our patched packages properly, and a whole bunch of Mint users come here to complain that Mint doesn't work, and blame Ubuntu for it, and then talk about Mint's superiority. Oh, the irony. Thank you for trolling, guys. That was fun, wasn't it? Why is Mint considering a Debian-based version? Hell if I know, and I don't give a damn. Maybe some other Ubuntu developers do, but I don't.

Well, given that it is a pretty noticeable bug, and a very annoying one when you notice it, and that the only users complaining about this bug now are Mint users, I would believe that Ubuntu has it fixed, even in 10.04 LTS, but perhaps not in Mint. And Ubuntu 10.04 LTS had it fixed since May 9th, which is 10 days after release, and also 10 days after this bug was reported (it was reported on release date). P.S. Needless to say that an argument that it took a way to long to fix it in Ubuntu (in case it is really fixed) still counts. 10 days is too long? Really? If you used Ubuntu, you should have only encountered this once, if at all, since fsck only happens every 30 days or after a set number of mounts I can't remember.

If it was really fixed in that 10 days and all people reporting here blaming Ubuntu are in reality just hadn't installed fresh updates or are using Mint instead then it was fast enough to call it good level of support.

Then you can use this as basis to report about Mint's failures to your clients, but please keep in mind that Ubuntu is not Mint. It is certainly not. As for clients - unfortunately they prefer working workstations instead of reports about Mint's failures. About half of linux installations in production environment I've done last year were based on Mint LTS (rest were CentOS 5 based). Looking at the history of this bug I would reconsider to use Ubuntu instead of Mint in a near future, probably switching to the CentOS 6 as soon as it would be released. -- Best regards, Alexey Loukianov mailto:mooro...@mail.ru System Engineer,Mob.:+7(926)218-1320 *nix Specialist -- fsck progress stalls at boot, plymouthd/mountall eats CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 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

Re: [Bug 571707] Re: fsck progress stalls at boot, plymouthd/mountall eats CPU
I've been at a conference and only had time last night to look at the patched binaries. I installed the patched mountall, but both libplymouth and plymouth i386 binaries that I got were faulty (looking inside the packages, the two executables were only 20 bytes). Taking a fresh download got the same thing. Out of curiosity, I forced fsck on boot, and was surprised that it worked OK.
