My Trisquel 7 installation has begun asking me two or more times for my
password during startup. Sometimes the repetition of authorization requests
goes on endlessly, and I have to restart. When I look at the system log or
kern.log, I see that the startup sequence seems different between successful
starts (one password request) and unsuccessful starts (two or more requests
for password). The logs are too wordy for me to pinpoint what it is that
makes the authorization fail.
My bum (Bootup Manager) has one entry that I am tempted to check
(.legacy-bootordering) but the man page says that it can only be invoked
during installation or upgrades and that it is irreversible.
Am I correct in shying away from trying .legacy-bootordering to restore an
orderly boot sequence ?
