This bug makes a fully functional ubuntu LTS installation completely useless, and the only known solution is to install a different operating system.
This bug MUST be paid more attention, both by users and by developers. I've seen it today simultaneously on a eeepc 1005ha and a fixed pc made by DELL which I have in my office. These are two entirely different machines, e.g. one is 32 bit and the other one 64 bit, one is one year old, the other one seems to have 3 or 4 years on its shoulders. I am seeing this bug in two installed copies of Lucid LTS, not upgraded from an alpha or a beta; they are regular installs. Both installations have worked very well on the two machines for some time. Today I can't get the fixed machine to boot with ubuntu at all. I will now try to boot them with the correct option to disable the splash screen and see what happens. Steve Langasek: when you closed this bug, it would have been much more helpful if you also explained your users how to identify the error more precisely. -- Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 won't boot on HP Compaq Pentium 4; displays an irrelevant Glib warning on the console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
