Not that I know of. > Is this problem reproducible in 12.04 LTS? Yeah, it managed to persist after the dist-upgrade. After a bit more digging in /etc/init, I realized that some of mountall's /etc/init/mountall*.conf files were missing. A normal "dpkg -i" did not restore them, but adding --force-confnew did, after which, it seems to boot OK. I do think there's still a bit of a bug here in mountall. Granted, there was something wrong (most recently missing conffiles) that caused a failure. But, mountall failed in a pretty bad way: 1. Indefinite, permanent boot hang, had to use init=/bin/bash to recover 2. Didn't accept user input 3. No messages about what was going on Seems like we could do better than that, even booting in to a crippled environment like I did by hacking the 90s in instead of NIH_DBUS_TIMEOUT_NEVER would be vastly superior to what we've got at the moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839166 Title: mountall hangs while trying to send dbus? messages for /proc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/839166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
