fsck messages are not cleared from usplash when check is finished

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

Yes, still the same in Jaunty.

The same in final 9.04.

I can confirm this bug on Karmic.

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.48

---------------
usplash (0.5.48) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * usplash.8: document --background and --pidfile.
  * debian/usplash.upstart: as in Jaunty, start in pulsate mode for themes
    that define a progress bar (LP: #458398).

  [ Johan Kiviniemi ]
  * Let clients CLEAR old messages away when in quiet mode.
    - Fixes LP: #215666: mountall’s messages such as “foo cannot yet be
      mounted” would be left on the screen even after success.

With this new version of usplash there's a lot of flicker during fsck

I still have these messages on boot. Two max per boot.

usplash:
  Installed: 0.5.48
  Candidate: 0.5.48

I am still getting these messages on boot although all my disks eventually mount correctly. It usually displays the error 1 to 3 times. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2738/4048385460_ca4fabe41c_o.jpg

I am also getting these "One or more of the mounts [???] in fstab cannot yet be mounted: [...] Press ESC to enter a recovery shell" messages from time to time.

I'd assume that it is related to full-disk encryption (LUKS) or LVM, which I have both in use on my system.

I have the same problem (for a week already). It's not related to LUKS or LVM as I am not using them. Maybe it has something to do with the fix for Bug #458389.

I can confirm this bug. Similar message after an update fron Jaunty to Karmic.

After upgrading Jaunty to Karmic, I also am getting

"One or more of the mounts [???] in fstab cannot yet be mounted: [...] Press ESC to enter a recovery shell"

It then proceeds normally

Like Nicolo commented, there is now a lot of flickering during fsck. To the point that I would prefer the original bug :) Can fsck (mountall?) be fixed to not issue CLEAR all the time?

Tormod,

We’ve been discussing a replacement for usplash for lucid that would handle multiple clients simultaneously waiting for input and displaying progress, with the user being able to switch focus between the fields. That would fix a lot of issues we currently have, including the CLEAR flickering.

We might extend plymouth-lite with this functionality.

Same error here, with the message about one or more mounts not being ready.
Am running 9.10 after upgrading from 9.04.

My fstab file is verify with "sudo blkid" and the informations are the same. I don't understand why and where is the problem

Please report your different error messages in new bug reports. This bug report is not about getting a message, but that the fsck messages do not go away when it is done (see bug title), which is fixed.

But How to remove this message, this mesage always come before login???

" One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab can not be mounted swap waiting for UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXX(some number )
Press Esc to enter"

Then as i Press Esc ,,,,easily i can enter with normal login and password "
But how to remove this message
Suggestions and Solutions are welcome!!!!!!!

I think it's more of an informational message; letting you know that the device hasn't finished initializing(?) yet. Ignore it and it will complete the boot process.

Two bugs with similar symptoms worth considering if you get the "One or more mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted" message.

The usplash package has been superseded by plymouth and has been removed from the Ubuntu archive. Closing all related bugs.
