As a workaround try this: After Bootchart is installed, you will need to run it. To be able to properly time the boot sequence, Bootchart needs to be started as one of the first services. For this reason, Bootchart is not started as other services, using the Start scripts. Instead, it is invoked during the boot, by editing the GRUB menu parameters.
This may sound frightening, but it is quite simple and harmless. First, when the system boots, press Esc to display the GRUB menu, in case it is not showing. Second, press e to edit the GRUB menu. This pauses the timer and allows you to add your changes to the GRUB menu. Under the highlighted line, which you normally boot, simple type down the following string: init=/sbin/bootchartd. source: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/bootchart.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458170 Title: Vivid + bootchart quietly fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bootchart/+bug/1458170/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
