Allow me to disagree. For those of us able to implement the workarounds, once we discover them for ourselves or in the bug reports, waiting is an acceptable choice. But, for the many others out there who don't even know there is a problem and just discover that CUPS, /etc/getty, or whatever are suddenly not working, for no apparent reason, it becomes frustration without explanation. So I stick by my recommendations -- distribute these "workarounds" from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/543506/comments/81 add "init='/sbin/init --verbose'" to the linux boot line in grub comment out the "console output" lines in /etc/init/*.conf add "and started rsyslog" to /etc/init/rc-sysinit To my mind, that last one is not a workaround. It is a crucial dependency. -- CUPS and other system services not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 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
