Problem still exists on an HP 7100 as of 8/31/10. I'm using Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04). I unplugged all drives except the boot drive to see if it was a problem with the IDE or SATA chains. Nope, still see the GLib warning message.
If I press Enter at that message, I see a bunch of fail messages and then the system truly hangs. It is strange, as the system was working normally until this morning - I could boot normally without any hangs. Also, I've been using Mint 9/10.04 on my ThinkPad T43 laptop for ages with no boot problems whatever. Off topic, but the earlier comment by a developer that this affects only older PCs and is therefore irrelevant, is appalling. A major selling point of Linux is that it does work on older hardware - it "revives" old PCs. I hope that comment doesn't reflect the Ubuntu devs' pride in craft generally. -- 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
