We have a mix environment of Debian and Ubuntu and we use puppet for configuration management. One of our recipes for Debian include console- tools as a dependency. We reused that recipe in some of ours Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit servers until we discovered that a group of services did not start at boot time including Cron. Looking at /var/log/boot.log we found rare characters just after the message of console-setup. We just assumed it was breaking upstart. We didn't have to much time to research further in the problem so we change console-tools for kbd in the Ubuntu recipes and Voila! problem solved.
Unfortunately we still don't have to much time, but I think you can easily reproduce the bug just install console-tools package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592114 Title: upstart doesn't start cron automatically on boot in lucid for server on amd64 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
