FYI, on my natty box when I was running this, installing dbus in a schroot session resulted in upstart consuming all available virtual memory and eventually crashing the box. Steps to reproduce: (assuming you've setup schroots w/ mk-sbuild): schroot -c natty-amd64 -u root apt-get install dbus At the 'setting up dbus' point, upstart starts to consume memory at an alarming rate. This is likely because the dbus upstart job has a post-start that sends USR1 to pid 1, which is supposed to tell it to re-connect to dbus. I believe the bug is because the USR1 handler needs to ignore requests to re-connect to dbus from chrooted processes, but I haven't gotten very deep in to debugging it yet. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
