Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
I set up a new server today that would only boot into single user mode.
I tracked the problem to this line is /etc/event.d/rc-default:
if grep -q -w -- "-s\|single\|S" /proc/cmdline; then
The machine's hostname contained a -s. LVM seems to default to using
the hostname as part of the volume names. Since there was a -s in the
volume name, it perpetually started in single user mode.
I got around the problem by temporarily removing the -s from the regex.
I am aware of 'single,' and I am aware of the S (because you can
normally supply any runlevel on the command line), but I never heard of
the -s.
I was going to write up a patch to check for some whitespace, but I
found another bug related to not being able to choose runlevel from the
command line. Would a patch that extends the script to allowing the
selection of runlevels be accepted?
