Hello,
I have problem with booting in Ubuntu10..4. It shows an error:
init: Failed to spawn plymouth main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory




I had installed lots of softwares, programs in the above mentioned OS. So, please help me to solve this problem. I am new to Ubuntu and dont know how to upgrade to a new version saving all the files in the earlier OS.




With regards,

So from a booted live Ubuntu cd or thumbdrive lets see the bootscript read out; in my signature just click on it and follow the instructions. Come back to the thread and click on the # in the reply panel this makes code tags paste all the text in between.

This will let us see what is where.

should I take "boot_info_script055.sh" in a CD and then this CD should I put tn the the computer which has the boot problem? Or I can download it in a linux machine which is working properly and follow the step given in the sourceforge site?

I even could not start the machine (ie the user name option things should come, but not).

First of all, edit your above post, highlight the text from boot script and click # icon in post menu to wrap it with code tags. Or simply, just type [/code] at the end of that text and
at the beginning of it. That would make it easier to read ;-)

From that output, what I see, Grub seems pretty ok so that shouldn't be causing any problems here.

The issue seems to lie with plymouth. I would suggest to try to boot the recovery mode and perform some commands. From Grub menu, choose Recovery, 2nd option on the list, then drop to root shell and:

Connect to the internet,

[code]dhclient eth0

Where eth0 is your network interface.

Try to configure any broken packages.


sudo dpkg --configure -a


sudo apt-get install -f

Update and upgrade your system,


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Reboot and try to boot to Desktop.


sudo shutdown -r now

If any errors are reported, please post them.

I have installed two ubuntu10.4 and a windows vista. One of the ubuntu and windows is working properly, but the problem ls in the another ubuntu. I have also tried the recovery mode, the same problem persist i.e. the screen gives an error massage like:

init: Failed to spawn mountall main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory


init: Failed to spawn mountall post-stop process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
