Public bug reported: Binary package hint: alsa-utils
During boot /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, or more specifically /etc/rcS.d /S20alsa-utils, loops forever in: # Wait for filesystems to show up while [ ! -d /usr/bin -o ! -d /var/lib/alsa ]; do sleep 0.2 done As my /var is a mount point which has not yet been mounted, it never gets mounted as the above loop blocks all other startup scripts, including the mounting of /var. Deadlock. Should all local FS mounts be mounted earlier, or alsa-utils started later, I'm not sure. This is a similar problem to one I may have found in resolvconf not being able to access files on a not yet mounted dir, so maybe it's the local FSs that should be mounted earlier. ** Affects: alsa-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- init.d/alsa-utils hangs waiting for /var to be mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280667 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
