Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mumble-server
Ubuntu Release: 8.04.1
mumble-server version: 1.1.3-0ubuntu2
The rc.2 startup of mumble-server hangs, preventing processes listed
after it in rc2.d from starting (on my installation, this includes
mysql, postfix, nagios, ftp server, atd, cron, and apache).
No messages in syslog.
Cause:
Log destination was changed from /var/log/mumble-server/mumble-server.log to
/var/log/mumble-server.log.
Verified by:
/etc/init.d/mumble-server start with both configurations.
With the original configuration, the start script would terminate without a
message.
With the /var/log/mumble-server.log log destination, it would emit some logging
output, then hang.
Workaround:
To continue the rc.2 startup after a reboot, simply kill the leaf mumble-server
process listed under rc in pstree -p.
To make mumble-server work, restore the original log destination, or presumably
point it to anywhere where the mumble-server user is allowed to create files.
Seems mumble-server drops root privileges before opening the log file.
However, the more important bug is that a hang in mumble-server's
initialization can interrupt normal startup.
