Mmhhh... I shouldn't have post this as uninstalling upstart, sysv-rc and insserv may break your system. Here is more or less what I did:
$ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all upstart sysv-rc insserv Notice the --force-all flag so you should really know what you are doing. sysv-rc complained about some scripts not being able to "register" (or something else) into the sysv-rc. I don't remember exactly but you should also get the warning. The "reconfigure" trick suggested in this message did not help so I finally reinstalled or even removed those packages (I don't remember exactly). $ sudo aptitude reinstall the_package or $ sudo dpkg -r --force-all the_package The idea is to completely remove upstart, sysv-rc and insserv from your system and reinstall them. I then had to install sysv-rc manually: $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/sysv-rc_2.87dsf-4ubuntu11_all.deb and finally install all the missing dependencies with aptitude again. DO NOT REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM before you get upstart, sysv-rc and insserv installed again. So again, I don't recommend to do this if you don't know what you are doing and if you don't know how to recover your system. Pulseaudio should start on a per-user session. So I don't think the pulseaudio issue is related to this one. -- After upgrade to karmic cups server do not start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
