| cwright | hi, I have a box that has been cleanly dist-upgraded from dapper->edgy->feisty, and I am having some issues with upstart | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| cwright | I originally asked on #ubuntu, but was referred here | 01:07 |
| cwright | anyway, when I run 'initctl list', i see all the events waiting, except none of the tty's are shown in the listing | 01:08 |
| cwright | this is a problem because I am trying to add a 'svscan' file to the events.d directory, but it does not start upon boot | 01:10 |
| cwright | any suggestions? I can provide more information if that would be helpful | 01:10 |

| cwright | anyone here who can help with upstart issue? | 06:57 |
| AlexExtreme | i might be able to help, but can you give me 10 minutes :) my dinner is ready | 07:01 |
| AlexExtreme | brb | 07:01 |
| cwright | heh sure thing :) | 07:01 |
| AlexExtreme | back | 07:26 |
| AlexExtreme | cwright, what did you want to ask? :) | 07:26 |
| cwright | hi AlexExtreme, hope you enjoyed your dinner :) | 07:27 |
| AlexExtreme | i did, thanks :p | 07:27 |
| cwright | I posted my question in here yesterday, but got no responses, I'll paste what I wrote again | 07:27 |
| cwright | I have a box that has been cleanly dist-upgraded from dapper->edgy->feisty, and I am having some issues with upstart | 07:27 |
| cwright | when I run 'initctl list', i see all the events waiting, except none of the tty's are shown in the listing | 07:27 |
| cwright | this is a problem because I am trying to add a 'svscan' file to the events.d directory, but it does not start upon boot | 07:27 |
| AlexExtreme | hmm.... | 07:28 |
| cwright | also, none of the tty's are started | 07:28 |
| AlexExtreme | are you using a custom kernel? | 07:28 |
| cwright | no, straight feisty server kernel | 07:29 |
| AlexExtreme | hang on | 07:29 |
| AlexExtreme | let me check my feisty install | 07:30 |
| cwright | ok | 07:30 |
| AlexExtreme | do the tty job files physically exist in /etc/event.d? | 07:30 |
| cwright | yup | 07:30 |
| cwright | here is what I see with initctl list: | 07:31 |
| cwright | /etc/event.d# initctl list | 07:31 |
| cwright | control-alt-delete (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | logd (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc-default (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc0 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc1 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc2 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc3 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc4 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc5 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rc6 (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rcS (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | rcS-sulogin (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| cwright | sulogin (stop) waiting | 07:31 |
| AlexExtreme | could you pastebin the content of one of the tty files? (http://rafb.net/paste) | 07:31 |
| cwright | svscan (start) running, process 4224 | 07:32 |
| cwright | I manually started svscan with 'initctl start svscan', at boot nothing starts, they all go into waiting | 07:32 |
| cwright | sure, one sec | 07:32 |
| AlexExtreme | and don't paste large amounts of text in here | 07:32 |
| AlexExtreme | :) | 07:32 |
| cwright | i am curious if it has to do with the dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty | 07:33 |
| cwright | http://rafb.net/p/OS2sbu29.html | 07:33 |
| AlexExtreme | yes, there's a syntax error in those files | 07:33 |
| cwright | what is it? | 07:33 |
| AlexExtreme | remove all the tty files in /etc/event.d, uninstall the system-services package and reinstall it | 07:33 |
| AlexExtreme | it *should* recreate those files | 07:34 |
| cwright | ok, this is a live box, is that going to affect anything running? | 07:34 |
| AlexExtreme | shouldn't do | 07:34 |
| cwright | i understand init intimately, upstart not so much :) | 07:34 |
| AlexExtreme | :) | 07:35 |
| cwright | ok, let me uninstall and reinstall real quick | 07:35 |
| cwright | this is what I am seeing: http://rafb.net/p/JpewkK75.html\ | 07:36 |
| cwright | err, no slash on there | 07:36 |
| cwright | is that safe to continue with? | 07:36 |
| AlexExtreme | mmm no | 07:37 |
| AlexExtreme | just aptitude install it rather than uninstalling first | 07:37 |
| cwright | ok | 07:37 |
| cwright | did that, no new tty files in /etc/event.d/ though | 07:38 |
| AlexExtreme | hrm | 07:38 |
| AlexExtreme | hang on | 07:38 |
| cwright | can you pastebin your tty files and I can just replace mine? | 07:41 |
| cwright | that would be good enough, i just need to get this to work | 07:41 |
| AlexExtreme | hold on, i'm uploading an archive containing mine | 07:42 |
| AlexExtreme | cwright, http://www.alex-smith.me.uk/files/ttys.tbz2 | 07:44 |
| AlexExtreme | just get that file, cd /etc/event.d, tar -xvjf /path/to/ttys.tbz2 | 07:44 |
| cwright | got it, thanks a bunch, let me try this out | 07:45 |
| cwright | AlexExtreme: i really appreciate your help, after looking at the files closer i see the syntax error, should have caught that before | 07:48 |
| cwright | i'm digging upstart, i much prefer it now | 07:49 |
| AlexExtreme | yes, i'm going to assume that those errors were caused by a bug in the migrate-inittab.pl script | 07:49 |
| AlexExtreme | i'll tell Keybuk about it later | 07:49 |
| AlexExtreme | so, it's working now? | 07:49 |
| cwright | well, i was able to start tty1, and i am rebooting the box now to see if svscan starts at boot as it should | 07:50 |
| cwright | i should be able to tell you in a few minutes | 07:50 |
| AlexExtreme | k | 07:50 |
| cwright | yup, works great! | 07:52 |
| cwright | the box started, all ttys, and svscan | 07:52 |
| cwright | so you are probably right about the bug. these were clean dapper installs, migrated to edgy, and feisty all in a matter of about 30 minutes | 07:53 |
| cwright | ok, well, that's all i needed help with. thanks again AlexExtreme | 07:55 |
| AlexExtreme | no problem | 07:55 |
