[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1835660] Re: initramfs unpacking failed
Correction for my last post: More investigation revealed that the issue IS harmless after all - the error message just happened to be the only message printed on an otherwise black and unresponsive screen for multiple seconds before a timeout occurs that after further research turned out to be caused by something else, not the decoding failure. Regardless of that the rest of my previous post still applies.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1835660] Re: initramfs unpacking failed
I did a clean install of 20.04 on my machine (which has been running Ubuntu, most recently 19.04, without issue so far) and I am facing this - importantly in my case it is NOT a harmless message but actually preventing boot - I am stuck in the initramfs prompt. I tried the suggested workaround of editing "/etc/initramfs- tools/initramfs.conf" to specify COMPRESS=gzip instead of COMPRESS=lz4 to no avail (issue remains on next boot attempt). I can not run try elsewhere also suggested "sudo update-initramfs -u" command because as I understand it I am lacking the proper context in which this would be run - in the initramfs prompt I can not run it (or at least don't know how), and if I boot into live ubuntu (which works perfectly - this is also where I was able to edit the initramfs.conf file) I could probably run this although it would be in the wrong context (that of the live ubuntu, not the one on disk I installed previously). Thanks everyone for the effort to resolve this! I'll run 19.10 or another distro in the meantime and hope this can be resolved soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 Title: initramfs unpacking failed Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message appears on boot up.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1435028] Re: Kernel does not detect already connected USB devices on boot
I cannot speak for the bug opener, but for me this bug has been resolved (or it resolved itself otherwise, don't know). So you can safely ignore my previous post from now. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435028 Title: Kernel does not detect already connected USB devices on boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The kernel does not always detect already connected USB devices on boot.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1435028] Re: Kernel does not detect already connected USB devices on boot
Hi, I freshly installed 15.04 about a week ago (my kernel is 19.0-22-generic) and am experiencing similiar behaviour, with some additional symptoms to those described already: - When the problem occurs for me, startup time spent on the loading screen (colored dots) goes up from less than a second to about 1+ minute - When the login screen is finally reached, I am not able to do anything (except cut power and hope it does not occur on the next boot) because un- and re-plugging any usb devices does nothing at all (my keyboard gets power, but is not recognized, same for mouse) If I can provide any additional info to help with this, please let me know. Just like jhe, I didn't yet see any logic regarding how this problem is triggered so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435028 Title: Kernel does not detect already connected USB devices on boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The kernel does not always detect already connected USB devices on boot.
