Please explain what "Job is already running" means when the job is _not_ already running. In the general meaning of "already running" there should be, well, something running, a process, yet when this message is issued there is no libvirt-bin or libvirtd or any related process at all. Nor is there a libvirtd.pid file on the system, which in some cases might make a script conclude something was running. So where is this inaccurate error message coming from?
I was able, as comparison, to take the init.d script used by the Debian version of libvirt-bin and use it in the place of the upstart invocation. It works just fine, and libvirtd is started, and runs well. By comparison for Ubuntu's upstart version of the invocation, there's nothing but a "Job is already running" message, even though the libvirtd daemon has not been started. So the first problem here is what would seem to be an inaccurate error message. The second problem is upstart isn't succeeding in starting libvirt, while leaving nothing but that message to say why. There's doubtless something behind that, whatever it's tripping over that's stopping it from working right. But how to deduce that from that seemingly inaccurate error message is a mystery. If "job" here just means that upstart is already in the middle of trying to start it ... well it stays in that state forever then. So if that's the right sense of "job" in this context, it's also not running - it's not doing anything - it's stuck. I don't know what the right error message would be; but clearly that's the wrong one. That's the bug I'm reporting. I'd like an error message that's useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809632 Title: libvirt-bin upstart process issues wrong message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/809632/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
