Hi Rolf, What I meant regarding "one issue - one bug" is that your comment regarding "mysteriously failing compilations" is a completely separate issue from the one you reported in this bug, and so doesn't really belong. That particular issue is definitely not dash's fault, but rather is the fault of the compilation tools depending on bashisms in #!/bin/sh (as you said). It is less clear that your freeze is due to "bashism dependency", since we still don't know much about what is causing the freezes. It does very much sound like there is an unterminated loop going on, and it could very well be the result of some sh-is-bash assumptions, but we need to know more.
In order to proceed with this bug, I need to see the entries in /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/boot, /var/log/messages, and /var/log/syslog from during the attempted boot. It would be helpful if you'd clarify what time you booted the computer, and what time it was rebooted or powered down (due to the freeze). Also, it could help to remove the "splash" kernel option to grub when you load up (you can remove this at boot time, or from your /boot/grub/menu.lst), so you can see the messages going until they stop. -- with /bin/sh = dash, computer freezes completely; runs fine when sh = bash. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
