Comment 2 for bug 1181528

I'm seeing what appears to be an unclean shutdown. It looks like / is marked as dirty: every boot runs fsck:

% dmesg | grep sda2
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery required on readonly filesystem
EXT3-fs (sda2): write access will be enabled during recovery
EXT3-fs (sda2): recovery complete
EXT3-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode

sda2 is my root / partition. There is 1 drive (SCSI) with 6 partitions. sda1 (/boot, ext3), sda2 (/, ext3) and sda3 (swap) are all primary partitions. sda5 (/home, ext3) and sda6 (/share, FAT32) are logical. Only / (sda2) is unclean.

The workaround of deselecting "Available to all users" in Network Connections discussed in LP: #1073433 works for me. It would seem that there are multiple bugs causing the same behaviour. See LP: #1073433 #124.
