=== Amaranth_ [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === cwright [n=cwright@silver.standblue.net] has joined #upstart [01:07] 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] I originally asked on #ubuntu, but was referred here [01:08] anyway, when I run 'initctl list', i see all the events waiting, except none of the tty's are shown in the listing [01:10] 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] any suggestions? I can provide more information if that would be helpful === Keybuk [i=scott@conference/ubuntu-developer-summit/x-e53f1b4f41784c97] has joined #upstart === sadleder [n=sadleder@p5081322B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #upstart === Amaranth [i=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === Md [i=md@freenode/staff/md] has joined #upstart === Keybuk [i=scott@conference/ubuntu-developer-summit/x-856cbeeff8ab4a56] has joined #upstart === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === Keybuk [i=scott@conference/ubuntu-developer-summit/x-957572a5b9d3b7f2] has joined #upstart === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === Amaranth_ [i=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === mbiebl [n=michael@e180066063.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #upstart === tale [n=tale@207.235.54.1] has joined #upstart === Amaranth [n=travis@ubuntu/member/Amaranth] has joined #upstart === cubicool [n=cubicool@router.emperor-sw2.exsbs.net] has joined #upstart === juergbi [n=juerg@80-219-18-22.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #upstart === cubicool [n=cubicool@router.emperor-sw2.exsbs.net] has left #upstart [] [06:57] anyone here who can help with upstart issue? [07:01] i might be able to help, but can you give me 10 minutes :) my dinner is ready [07:01] brb [07:01] heh sure thing :) [07:26] back [07:26] cwright, what did you want to ask? :) [07:27] hi AlexExtreme, hope you enjoyed your dinner :) [07:27] i did, thanks :p [07:27] I posted my question in here yesterday, but got no responses, I'll paste what I wrote again [07:27] I have a box that has been cleanly dist-upgraded from dapper->edgy->feisty, and I am having some issues with upstart [07:27] when I run 'initctl list', i see all the events waiting, except none of the tty's are shown in the listing [07:27] 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 [07:28] hmm.... [07:28] also, none of the tty's are started [07:28] are you using a custom kernel? [07:29] no, straight feisty server kernel [07:29] hang on [07:30] let me check my feisty install [07:30] ok [07:30] do the tty job files physically exist in /etc/event.d? [07:30] yup [07:31] here is what I see with initctl list: [07:31] /etc/event.d# initctl list [07:31] control-alt-delete (stop) waiting [07:31] logd (stop) waiting [07:31] rc-default (stop) waiting [07:31] rc0 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc1 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc2 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc3 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc4 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc5 (stop) waiting [07:31] rc6 (stop) waiting [07:31] rcS (stop) waiting [07:31] rcS-sulogin (stop) waiting [07:31] sulogin (stop) waiting [07:31] could you pastebin the content of one of the tty files? (http://rafb.net/paste) [07:32] svscan (start) running, process 4224 [07:32] I manually started svscan with 'initctl start svscan', at boot nothing starts, they all go into waiting [07:32] sure, one sec [07:32] and don't paste large amounts of text in here [07:32] :) [07:33] i am curious if it has to do with the dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty [07:33] http://rafb.net/p/OS2sbu29.html [07:33] yes, there's a syntax error in those files [07:33] what is it? [07:33] remove all the tty files in /etc/event.d, uninstall the system-services package and reinstall it [07:34] it *should* recreate those files [07:34] ok, this is a live box, is that going to affect anything running? [07:34] shouldn't do [07:34] i understand init intimately, upstart not so much :) [07:35] :) [07:35] ok, let me uninstall and reinstall real quick [07:36] this is what I am seeing: http://rafb.net/p/JpewkK75.html\ [07:36] err, no slash on there [07:36] is that safe to continue with? [07:37] mmm no [07:37] just aptitude install it rather than uninstalling first [07:37] ok [07:38] did that, no new tty files in /etc/event.d/ though [07:38] hrm [07:38] hang on [07:41] can you pastebin your tty files and I can just replace mine? [07:41] that would be good enough, i just need to get this to work [07:42] hold on, i'm uploading an archive containing mine [07:44] cwright, http://www.alex-smith.me.uk/files/ttys.tbz2 [07:44] just get that file, cd /etc/event.d, tar -xvjf /path/to/ttys.tbz2 [07:45] got it, thanks a bunch, let me try this out [07:48] AlexExtreme: i really appreciate your help, after looking at the files closer i see the syntax error, should have caught that before [07:49] i'm digging upstart, i much prefer it now [07:49] yes, i'm going to assume that those errors were caused by a bug in the migrate-inittab.pl script [07:49] i'll tell Keybuk about it later [07:49] so, it's working now? [07:50] 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] i should be able to tell you in a few minutes [07:50] k [07:52] yup, works great! [07:52] the box started, all ttys, and svscan [07:53] 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 [07:55] ok, well, that's all i needed help with. thanks again AlexExtreme [07:55] no problem === cwright [n=cwright@silver.standblue.net] has left #upstart [] === Md [i=md@freenode/staff/md] has joined #upstart === mbiebl [n=michael@e180068178.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #upstart
