Package: live-config Severity: normal Tags: upstream This issue is present in git as at debian/3.0_a37-1.
The script live-config/scripts/config/019-upstart edits /etc/init/tty* This include ttyS0.conf i.e. a serial port, which it changes to exec /bin/login -f cyber </dev/ttyS0 >/dev/ttyS0 2>&1 AFAIK this can't possibly work. Therefore I suggest you change the glob to only match ttys that start with a digit, and for good measure to only match .conf files: for _FILE in /etc/init/tty* # before for _FILE in /etc/init/tty[0-9]*.conf # after # Note there are two such loops in the file. This will not make the serial consoles auto-log-in, but it will at least let them remain functional (tested and confirmed). This issue does not appear to affect the corresponding sysvinit script, 017-sysvinit, as it matches on the regexp tty[0-9]*. PS: my workaround for now is to do live-noconfig=upstart, which skips the entire script. This is safe *for me* as at precise as the only thing that 019-upstart does is edit the tty* files, and I have only serial consoles on my target hardware. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (990, 'oneiric-updates'), (990, 'oneiric-security'), (990, 'oneiric'), (500, 'precise-updates'), (500, 'precise-security'), (500, 'precise') Architecture: armel (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
