[Bug 1072339] Re: [12.10] During boot: monitor goes off (ATI Radeon HD 4670) / mount points that contain space \040 give error while mounting

[Steve Langasek]

The problem with having multiple tasks on a single bug report for
something like this is that the mountall issue you describe is a
duplicate of bug #1059471, which has been fixed.  But it wouldn't help
to mark this bug as a duplicate of that bug, because the monitor power
issue is unrelated (and unresolved).

** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)

Title:
  [12.10] During boot: monitor goes off (ATI Radeon HD 4670) / mount
  points that contain space \040 give error while mounting

Status in “grub-gfxpayload-lists” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Just installed Ubuntu 12.10, after adding this line: LABEL=vms /home/pascal/VirtualBox\040VMs ext4 defaults 0 2 to /etc/fstab during boot the monitor goes off (power saving mode) but the computer keeps running leaving the user clueless.
  If found out that pressing Esc, switching Plymouth to text mode, brings back the display showing the following error:

  fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
  fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
  fsck from util-linux 2.20.1

  mountall: Event failed
  mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted or /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs busy
  mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is already mounted on /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs
  mountall: mount /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs [956] terminated with status 32
  mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs

  I have the following partitioning table: see attachment
  partitiontable.txt

  When booting into recovery mode and selecting "resume" I get the same error message but with these lines added at the bottom:
  An error occurred while mounting /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs.
  keys:Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

  After pressing S booting succeeds and /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs is
  mounted. Pressing S at the point where the monitor goes off also
  succesfully boots.

  Ran fsck: no errors on /dev/sda7. Tried commenting out the line with this mount point from /etc/fstab, then my computer starts fine.
  Removing the space \040 from the mount point also boots without problems.

  So there seems to be 2 problems here: 1) monitor goes off during boot
  giving a bad user experience and 2) mount points that contain space
  \040 give error: already mounted.

  WORKAROUND/FIX for problem 1): When blacklisting my ATI Radeon 4670 by adding v1002d9490.* to /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt and then running sudo update-grub2 the screen doesn't go off anymore and shows Plymouth with a descriptive message:
  An error occurred while mounting /home/pascal/VirtualBox VMs.
  Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

  WORKAROUND for problem 1) and 2): disable plymouth: sudo mv
  /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.disable, although
  probably not a real fix for 1) since "power saving mode" is still
  shown breefly on the monitor but the systems boots into the login
  screen.

  If any further information is necessary please let me know.
