No, it's not. If you are having problems with mountall, please file a new
bug report against the mountall package.

And when waiting, the screen should display a prompt to let you skip the
mount or enter a maintenance shell (if you have 'splash' enabled), and, with
or without the prompt, you should be able to press 'S' or 'M' to get the
same effect.

Please file a bug on the ubiquity package about this if you haven't already.
For most users, dual-booting appears to work correctly with both Kubuntu and

As above, there are means to access a recovery shell if a filesystem fails
to mount. If there are bugs, well, then there are bugs - but not bugs that
the developers have seen yet, so please report them and provide more
information so we can try to reproduce the problem.
