Public bug reported: After installing ubuntu 17.10 desktop a window asking for a reboot opens. After selecting the reboot I get the following error message from systemd: 'A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (21s / no limit)' The system hangs and continues to display this error message. As far as I can tell this message comes up during the shutdown part of the reboot.
I used 'ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso' as installation image on a usb drive, I started the installer by selecting 'Try Ubuntu without installing' in the boot menu and clicking the installer icon after the live systems boot up. Happily I also found a workaround. Before booting the live system I changed some boot parameters with grub from 'quiet splash' to 'noplymouth' and then the installation worked and a proper reboot after installation was possible. To make things clearer I have attachted a screenshot of the error message. I encountered this bug on Lenovo ThinkPad T470 with an nvme SSD. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "error_message.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729437/+attachment/5002036/+files/error_message.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729437 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 hangs on reboot after installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1729437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
