Some progress on this bug. With the (recent) update the moving the png libraries into /lib (for Plymouth), I've been gettings things going further.
Unfortunately tonight it all broke again -- so I decided to figure things out as much as possible. I stripped /etc/init/ to a bare minimum: that provided by upstart and just mountall.conf i.e. eve:[~]% ls /etc/init/ control-alt-delete.conf rc-sysinit.conf rcS.conf tty2.conf tty4.conf tty6.conf mountall.conf rc.conf tty1.conf tty3.conf tty5.conf upstart-udev-bridge.conf And I still could get booting to work. I modified tty2.conf to start on starting (like mountall.conf); and modified the mountall.conf job and prefixed it with strace. It appears that upstart does not like ptracing though strace and it hangs the job. That was lucky as I manually went and run the mountall program via strace. ** Attachment added: "mountall strace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38513585/mountall.log -- upstart fails to start system into multiuser mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
