Indeed this isn't related to native systemd units vs. sysvinit scripts. > honor this historical behavior by making the 'runlevel' command return the target runlevel when called from a systemd unit that's run at boot, even if that target has not yet been reached.
OK, I wasn't aware of that. I'll look into that. > d.) output of runlevel is stored in RL and then it goes looking for an SLINK or SSLINK (/etc/rc$RL.d/S??apache2 or /etc/rcS.d/S??apache2). Neither of these exist so it exits without starting the service. To be sure we are talking about the same thing: Surely update-rc.d should run before invoke-rc.d in the postinst, so the links should exist in rc[2345].d/. This is solely about $RL having the wrong value here, not about the links not existing at all, right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to init-system-helpers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575572 Title: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial) Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using the following cloud config, apache2 will fail to start on installation on Xenial: #cloud-config packages: - apache2 See for example: $ gcloud compute instances create xenial-$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M) --image ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160420c --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud --metadata-from-file user-data=cloud-config NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_IP STATUS xenial-160427-1050 europe-west1-d n1-standard-1 10.240.0.7 104.155.86.94 RUNNING $ ssh [email protected] systemctl status apache2.service ● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache2; bad; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d └─apache2-systemd.conf Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1575572/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
