Booting Linux 3.3.0-rc5 (vanilla, no initramfs) with upstart-1.4-0ubuntu9 (from James' upstart-job-logging PPA) went fine, even w/o the "--no-log" kernel option. However, at the end of the booting process, syslog says:
kernel: [ 17.913723] init: No available ptys kernel: [ 17.913826] init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging kernel: [ 17.915596] init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory kernel: [ 17.929426] init: No available ptys kernel: [ 17.929531] init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging kernel: [ 17.931403] init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory kernel: [ 17.939599] init: No available ptys kernel: [ 17.939687] init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging kernel: [ 17.947603] init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory kernel: [ 17.976511] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (605) terminated with status 1 The "Failed to create pty - disabling logging" message is also printed on the local console and repeated every now and then. Maybe this (debugging?) information can be omitted in the final version? $ ls -l /dev/ptmx crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Mar 7 01:34 /dev/ptmx -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936667 Title: Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no initramfs (error is "No available ptys") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/936667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
