I'm not sure what to think so far but I wanted to make some notes of things I've tried (and looked at) so far so I don't forget.
I performed the same identical test on Ubuntu amd64 Trusty w/Utopic HWE on the same hardware this AM and it boots fine. The Ubuntu GNOME install I performed this failed test on yesterday is i386 so I thought it might be either GNOME or arch specific. To see if it was related to gdm I tried lightdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter but it also won't boot. The one difference is that I actually see the login screen but trying to login just bounces me back to the login screen. (gdm is set to auto-login) I've tried renaming .Xauthority and .ICEauthority but that didn't change much, if anything. The one difference I notice since renaming those two files and changing back to gdm is that I no longer see "Restoring resolver state" but rather just a blank black screen. I can always log into a TTY from the "frozen" state. Not sure if this is helpful but .xsession-errors shows: Script for ibus started at run_im. Script for auto started at run_im. Script for default started at run_im. init: gnome-session (GNOME) main process (1565) terminated with status 1 init: logrotate main process (1491) killed by TERM signal init: upstart-dbus-session-bridge main process (1533) terminated with status 1 init: Disconnected from notified D-Bus bus Next I plan on performing another test using Ubuntu GNOME amd64 Trusty w/Wily HWE to see if this might be arch specific. Of course that may not be 100% definitive because the first (failed) test started with a Utopic HWE, but the passing Ubuntu test this AM was on an install using the Utopic HWE. Have I confused anyone besides myself so far? I'm subscribing Jeremy Bicha in case he may have some ideas. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610434 Title: Reboot after Trusty HWE upgrade freezes saying Restoring resolver state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1610434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
