I know what usually causes this if anyone is interested. In 9.10 you need to add something like this to /etc/fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0 in order for virtualbox to be able to access usb. With 10.04, apparently, this line isn't needed and virtulbox can access usb out of the box. This line was left over on my laptop from 9.10 on my upgrade to 10.04 and caused my system to hang. This has happened to me twice: Once when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and today when I rebooted after a system update (using a fresh 10.04 install). When I did my original 9.10=>10.04 upgrade, the system did not actually give me the 'Press S to Skip or M to manually mount' message on the splash screen; it just hung and was apparently waiting for a key press (s or m). I ended up doing a full wipe and reinstall, only to have the same error happen after I added the line to /etc/fstab when I installed virtualbox. Now I know that I could have avoided the entire wipe if only I had pressed "s". Live and Learn, I suppose. So. To get rid of this message, try removing the /etc/fstab line regarding /proc/bus/usb if you have one. -- at bootup get "can't mount /proc/usb/hub" message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573114 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
