yes, but you can ignore that because I am using a USB Pen Drive with Persistence File, installed using Unebootin
the failing HD is immaterial to the issue. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Langasek Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 3:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bug 937638] Re: package initscripts 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4.1 failed toinstall/upgrade: ln: accessing `/etc/nologin': Input/output error Ok. According to the dmesg output included in your bug report, you have a failing hard drive: [ 211.037056] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 [ 211.037068] ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x24 [ 211.037079] ata1.00: failed command: READ DMA [ 211.037100] ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:10:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 4096 in [ 211.037105] res 51/40:08:10:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) [ 211.037115] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [ 211.037123] ata1.00: error: { UNC } (and many more errors like it) This may just be a bad cable, or the drive itself could be failing. Either way, it's not a bug in sysvinit. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937638 Title: package initscripts 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: ln: accessing `/etc/nologin': Input/output error Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I get this error message after rebooting ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: initscripts 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.287.1 Date: Mon Feb 20 22:46:03 2012 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) SourcePackage: sysvinit Title: package initscripts 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/937638/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937638 Title: package initscripts 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: ln: accessing `/etc/nologin': Input/output error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/937638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
