GLib WARNING getpwuid_r failed due to unknown user

Hello everyone, I have 2 cards Atom N230 with Ubuntu 10.04 and EMC2.
often and randomly give me this error: GLib-WARNING getpwuid_r two failed to unknown user id 0
have happened to others?
Regards Mauro

both machines has installed on sata hard drives ubuntu emc2 10.04
i don't use live cd distro
regards Mauro

I am actually experiencing this very same issue. I have 10.04 installed and have had this issue for some time now. installed it from the disk to a sata hd. I have done ALOT of research and found that the issue is actually related to a program called plymouth which is a new addition to ubuntu. Here is the issue, the fix that was FINALLY issued from the folks at ubuntu very unfortunately is an update that is only available for ubuntu 10.10(maverick). here is the real issue, EMC can only work on versions of ubuntu that its setup for and 10.10 is not one of them. so the only way to use EMC without your computer crashing mid mill (has happened to me so many times I cant count) is to go back to using the ubuntu 8 disk which is lacking in features in both ubuntu and EMC. I do realize though that as I am not a contributor to the code base of either project and just a user and friend of open source software that complaining would not be fashionable so I am very simply making a comment on the forum until I get around to submitting it as a bugfix. hope this at least helps give closure until everything gets figured out.

Thank you for your answer, but doing updates the problem has not been presented more
in the second PC that I used for testing closed-loop (almost unusable for this error) I replaced the parallel with a mesa 5i23 and even that now works well
The important thing is that!

Hi Chubs

I read in wiki.ubuntuusers.de/plymouth
Falls damit das System korrekt (ohne "boot splash") bootet, kann man als dauerhafte Lösung auch Plymouth ganz entfernen oder einen Kernelparameter in die Datei /etc/default/grub einfügen:

It seems that you can stop plymouth by adding in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth"
