Similar symptoms for me on fully upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell Inspiron laptop dual-booting with Win7 using grub2. A triple-workaround that worked for others here (but not me) is listed below.
sudo -s for file in /etc/init/*.conf; do sed -i 's/^console output/\#console output/' $file; done sed -i 's/start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo/start on filesystem and started rsyslog and net-device-up IFACE=lo/' /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init='\''\/sbin\/init --verbose'\''"/' /etc/default/grub update-grub My problem may be related to a failed hibernate resume due to laptop battery draining below hibernate threshold just as I was correcting a permissions misconfiguration on my /var or /usr directory that was preventing proper OS operation. I think others have mentioned the possibility of a stale file lock problem, but can't remember where or how to correct it. -- 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
