My understanding of this bug is that System V services fail to start because the rc-sysinit or rc jobs fail because /dev/console cannot be opened. A workaround appears to be to comment out "console output" from those jobs.
I also understand that in all cases, /dev/console actually exists -- it's a fundamental node that always exists in the devtmpfs filesystem, and is created by the initramfs for a tmpfs-on-/dev filesystem. In the case where neither of these is used, the node must exist on the root filesystem and is created as part of the installer process. And since it exists, but returns an error when it's being opened, this strongly implies some kind of kernel bug. -- CUPS and other system services not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 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
