I don't think you are correct. Here's why: the comments in the file mentioned in my original bug report (of which I actually included the full contents of the file) state the following: '2 - prefer privacy addresses and use them over the normal addresses.' Heavy emphasis on the word prefer. These

The problem is that by default pieces of software will use that address when communicating over IPv6. Such as wget downloading a file over IPv6 or connecting to a system using SSH. This should absolutely not be the default for a server system. -Tim -- You received this bug notification because

James: It seems that this is a chicken and egg problem when someone doesn't have an initramfs. I'm quite alright with logging being disabled if "/dev/pts" isn't mounted. The problem I have is the large amount of unhelpful errors that are printed on the console. If this could be a concise error,

Hello James, Thank you for taking the time to look in to this bug as well as get back to me. The explanation of the issue definitely makes the problem more clear. However, I am intrigued by the fact that something so important is assumed, and that Upstart errors when it encounters something diff
