[Bug 1280112] [NEW] Trivial errors (incorrect locale in my case) stops the OS from booting

[Hamid A. Toussi]

Public bug reported:

I copied the following file [*] to /etc/default/locale and after
rebooting I received the message

init: mountall process terminated with status 2
a maintenance shell will now be started
...

when I enter mountall in the maintenance shell, the OS continued to boot

I replaced the modified /etc/default/locale with the original version of
the file and it solved problem


/etc/default/locale [*]

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=""en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
