During boot, before login, S for skip not-mounted does not work.

[Arve Moss]

Binary package hint: xsplash

Upgradet to 10.04 During boot, before login, it detects a not mounted device. In previous version it just skipped past this message and displayed the login alternatives. Now it freezes. Entry of S or M gives no reaction. This is caused by me using an extra scree (a flat screen TV with PC connection). If I unplug the tV it skips on to the login. The reason it looks for an unmounted device, which it always has, may be the Multi-purpose bay on my Compaq Evo N600c, which currently contains a WLAN-card, which does not work. I have locked the M-bay out in the BIOS, but that does not seem to have any effect. This bug was introduced by upgrading to 10.04.

I'm not positive, but this sounds like it may be related to Plymouth. I'm reassigning to that project for now.

I think I just hit something similar on 12.04. I got the "Errors found" prompt, and pressed uppercase F for
fix. Nothing happened. I pressed lowercase 'f', and it started doing things. So although mountall seems to be
asking plymouth for both cases in mountall.c:plymouth_update(), maybe it's not getting them?

There have been a variety of fixes to the mountall/plymouth handling since this bug was filed. I believe this issue has been resolved in later versions of Ubuntu. If you can reproduce the issue with Ubuntu 13.04 or later, please reopen this report.
