[09:54] <concept10> Is there anything special I have to do to enable bootchart in upstart?  I see some small changes in the changelog
[09:56] <concept10> oh, sorry, it wasnt enabled in grub
[09:56] <mbiebl> concept10: bootchart is independent from using upstart or sysvint.
[09:57] <mbiebl> Which distro do you use?
[09:57] <mbiebl> On ubuntu, installing bootchart enables it by default (and the generated graphs are placed into /var/log/bootchart)
[09:57] <concept10> mbiebl, feisty.. I just 
[09:58] <mbiebl> On Debian you need to pass the boot parameter init=/sbin/bootchartd
[09:59] <mbiebl> With feisty this should not be necessary (as long as you use the stock ubuntu kernel)
[09:59] <mbiebl> Or better, a kernel with an initial ramdisk.
[09:59] <concept10> I saw that installing updated the init ramdisk but I see no images
[10:00] <concept10> do I still need to append the boot parameter?
[10:00] <mbiebl> no, it should work out of the box.
[10:13] <concept10> mbiebl, could it be that the script hasnt finished?  I still show in my process list root       930  0.0  0.0   1100   196 ?        S    14:19   0:03 /bin/busybox sh /bin/bootchart bottom
[10:14] <mbiebl> Do you have /etc/rc2.d/S99stop-bootchart ?
[10:14] <concept10> yep
[10:15] <mbiebl> If you run that manually, does it stop the bootchart daemon?
[10:17] <concept10> I should note that I am in recovery mode (single user)
[10:17] <concept10> and I dont see any bootchart daemons
[10:17] <concept10> only three busybox bootchart scripts
[10:18] <concept10> bootchart should take the place of init?
[10:18] <mbiebl> Try to boot normally into runlevel 2.
[10:19] <concept10> mbiebl, runlevel 2 is default right?
[10:19] <mbiebl> In Debian/Ubuntu, yes.
[10:19] <concept10> I can boot normally in runlevel 2, but GDM freezes.
[10:20] <concept10> The only way I can get into my system now is recovery mode and start GDM myself
[10:20] <concept10> so I guess upstart will work when I figure out that problem
[10:20] <concept10> I meant bootchart
[10:21] <mbiebl> apt-get install sysv-rc-conf && sysv-rc-conf gdm off
[10:22] <concept10> mbiebl, does that turn it off for all runlevels ?
[10:23] <mbiebl> yes
[10:23] <concept10> I wish there was someway to tell what config file gdm is using.. I guess its using the default one
[10:24] <concept10> im trying to figure this one out before release so I can report a better bug.  I think it will cause some users systems to fail.
[10:25] <mbiebl> Before playing with bootchart, I'd investigate first why the system freezes with gdm.
[10:26] <concept10> mbiebl, yeah, thanks.  Im going to reboot.  Ive been working on this problem for 2-3 days.
[10:28] <concept10> bbl
[11:32] <concept10> Hello all.. Does recovery mode boot to runlevel S
[11:32] <concept10> ?
[11:42] <mbiebl> concept10: yes
