Thanks, this was unknown to me! Next time I will try it. > Anyway, you don't mention why you felt the need to take these steps - if your system was hanging, or simply displaying an unpleasant warning message at boot time. My problem is/was similar with the original report by Kris969 on 2010-06-06. Getting this error message: "Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknow user id (0)" and the system hangs. Not on every boot but now and then. > > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet noplymouth" > > Er, this is a made-up boot option.

Really, "noplymouth" does not deactivate Plymouth? Okay, this option disable the splash screen. However, it works for me—by now umpteen times. I found the solution in the german wiki of ubuntuusers.de: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Plymouth Chapter "System bleibt hängen" (System freezes) -- Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknow user id (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590326 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
