There is no more information than what I can add here. I installed Ubuntu ver. 12.04LTS (Precise Pangolin) about a week ago (1-August-2013). I used the BTRFS file system. On first re-boot after installation, I was offered 3 choices:
(S)kip -- (I)gnore -- (M)ount Manually. Selecting skip hung the boot and the OS never loaded. Selecting the IGNORE for both / and /home (those word or characters do appear on-screen) loads the OS and I have a working computer. Since this problem is at boot time, I believe that the Launchpad Reporting tool- mechanism isn't able to report as it's not loaded. I am in the habit of closing all the open files, directory folders and applications (e.g., Firefox), before I issue the shutdown command. When the shutdown is issued, the OS seems to unwind itself very quickly - a few seconds only - but the power does not shut down. I have to press the power button a few seconds and the computer is then turned off. I have been doing this about 8 days or so and have not seen another problem. I backup daily. If you have questions post them to me. I can try to find the kernel.log or whatever, but I don't know where to look or how much to post without your help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088185 Title: kernel hangs on boot with btrfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1088185/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
