David, if you get runlevel 2 it means that you have a different problem to this bug (which is about upstart not entering runlevel 2).
If it only effects Apache than I would suggest opening a new bug against that relevant Apache package (if one does not already exist). If it does turn out to be an upstart bug then it can reassigned to that package. You might also want to try some of the suggestions in this and related bug reports, such as commenting out the "console output" lines in the files in the /etc/init/ directory. As for your other comments, Ubuntu servers are package-stable for LTS releases, but not as conservative as Debian or Red Hat - that is one of the reasons why Ubuntu exists. I run over 50 Ubuntu servers and only 1 machine was effected by the upstart bug, and that was 9 years old and only used for testing. That fact that only one of your machines has this problem does point to it be a little obscure and not something that is commonly met. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 Title: system services using "console output" not starting at boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
