There may be two different things going on here. The bug was fixed in upstart 1.11, some time ago.
On the other hand, I noticed (as you did) in the last few days that my new files were getting a umask of 0027, contrary to the upstart profile I had installed. Because of the timing, I suspect the GNOME 3.10 upgrade (which I received via the GNOME3-team PPA) somehow caused the workaround to stop working. Since it was possible to install upstart 1.11 from trusty without pulling in other dependencies, I did so, which cured the problem, as the bug is fixed there and the workaround no longer needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240686 Title: Upstart overrides the user's umask To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1240686/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
