Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: casper
(Apologies if "casper" is not the right place for this. I googled for
similar reports and this seemed like the closest match. I think I
roughly know who Casper is.)
I burned the 7.10 i386 desktop/live CD, booted it up to the first
screen, and picked the "Check CD for defects" option.
-rw-r--r-- 1 era era 729608192 2007-10-20 14:25
ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
It ran for a while, then stopped with the following message visible:
[Ubuntu logo and sort-of-not-at-all-a-progress-bar]
Checking integrity, this may take some time
Check finished: errors found in 1 files!
Press any key to reboot your system
Grammar and punctuation gripes notwithstanding, shouldn't it indicate
how to find out which file or files failed the integrity check? Is it,
like, critical, like the kernel, or less critical, like maybe the
Albanian help file for the geyes applet?
Being a knowledgeable 1337 h4x0r, I pressed ctrl-alt-fn on the
assumption that there might be a log or something on one of the virtual
terminals, but alas, no; and, after doing that, I could not figure out
how to get back to the graphical screen. It was certainly not on vt7.
On vt1 I see "Loading, please wait ..." but that's it. Pressing enter
on vt8 initiated a restart, with a message, even, but no indication
before I pressed enter that this might work better than pressing enter
on any other random virtual terminal.
Feel free to split this into two separate bugs, one about the lack of
information from a failed integrity check, and the other about the
inability to recover after a failed check. (Dunno, it might also be
impossible when it doesn't fail.)
