In my case /var/log/upstart/procps.log says: error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.shmmax"
kernel.shmmax is defined in /etc/sysctl.d/30-postgresql-shm.conf but it's commented out: #kernel.shmmax = ... #kernel.shmall = ... I tried to rename kernel.shmmax to k_ernel.shmmax in case it doesn't detect it's a comment for some reason but that didn't make any difference. I'm also on an OpenVZ container, my other boxes aren't affected by the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157643 Title: procps fail to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1157643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
