| einstein1969 | how to change level to single mode in ubuntu? | 12:17 |
| solj | hey everyone, i'm very new to upstart and trying to write a simple script that will run during startup; i have http://upstart.pastebin.com/m6f8fa569 working when run manually, but fails to start during startup | 15:21 |
| solj | this is on lucid | 15:21 |
| solj | i'm sure i'm missing something simple, but couldn't find the answer on the website | 15:23 |
| solj | is there an update-rc.d analog for upstart? | 15:37 |
| === roobiew_ is now known as robbiew | ||
| sadmac | solj: it looks right, but I'm betting it runs before the xserver | 17:25 |
| solj | sadmac: so, the init process will automatically look at any conf files in /etc/init? | 17:26 |
| sadmac | solj: it detects when they're modified and reloads them | 17:27 |
| solj | sadmac: hmm, it doesn't appear to run at all during startup :-/ | 17:28 |
| sadmac | solj: no idea why. output should be suppressed if you're looking for evidence of it that way | 17:29 |
| solj | well, that command should configure xorg.conf for me (which it does when i do a 'service start <servicename>') | 17:29 |
| solj | just doesn't run during startup | 17:29 |
| === mbiebl_ is now known as mbiebl | ||
| JanC | solj: maybe it runs before something it needs is loaded and doesn't work because of that, or something like that? | 17:55 |
| JanC | (just guessing) | 17:55 |
| solj | yeah, i also tried changing it to run only during runlevel 5, but that didn't appear to help | 17:56 |
| solj | i guess i just need to figure out a way to debug it | 17:57 |
| JanC | well, you can add a simple command that writes something to a file before running nvidia-xconfig to make sure whether it gets started or not | 18:01 |
| JanC | or redirect nvidia-xconfig's output (stout & stderr) to a file? | 18:02 |
| === rberger_ is now known as rberger | ||
| solj | JanC: tried adding debug statements in there and get nothing | 20:22 |
| solj | so, it's definitely not running at boot | 20:22 |
| sadmac2 | solj: they'll be hidden unless you explicitly direct them to /dev/console | 20:38 |
| solj | sadmac2: it's not being run; i'm going to try adding a boot option to run init with --debug | 20:41 |
| sadmac2 | ok | 20:41 |
| solj | sadmac2: ok, i confirmed it's not being run; i do see it as having been registered previously | 21:03 |
| solj | so, i have no idea what to do to debug now | 21:03 |
| solj | since the only things logged when running init verbosely are those things which get started | 21:04 |
| sadmac2 | solj: why do you need to rewrite xorg.conf on every boot btw? | 21:04 |
| sadmac2 | solj: at any rate try making it start on foo and then use initctl emit foo to start it | 21:05 |
| solj | sadmac2: i don't; i wanted to get an upstart job running at boot so i can do something more interesting | 21:05 |
| sadmac2 | solj: ah :) | 21:05 |
| sadmac2 | solj: yeah, see if you can event-trigger it via another event | 21:06 |
| solj | k, i'll try that | 21:06 |
| solj | sadmac2: doing that works | 21:21 |
| sadmac2 | solj: ok, so the startup event is the issue... | 21:21 |
| solj | i also tried doing the runlevel syntax | 21:22 |
| sadmac2 | solj: you tried start on runlevel 5? | 21:22 |
| solj | let me try just 5 | 21:22 |
| sadmac2 | weird | 21:22 |
| solj | i think i had tried multiple ones before | 21:22 |
| solj | that didn't work either | 21:24 |
| solj | hmm. | 21:24 |
| solj | not sure if it helps any, but this is on lucid | 21:26 |
| solj | and grep emit /etc/init/* only returns http://upstart.pastebin.com/m66e3e86b | 21:27 |
| solj | sadmac2: got it to work :-/ | 21:33 |
| solj | start on started tty1 | 21:33 |
| sadmac2 | solj: intriguing | 21:33 |
| sadmac2 | solj: it should work as you had it I'd think | 21:33 |
| solj | sadmac2: that's what i thought | 21:35 |
| solj | sadmac2: anything i can do to test for you, let me know | 21:35 |
| sadmac2 | solj: it'd be good to know if you see the startup event getting emitted during boot | 21:41 |
| solj | sadmac2: i'm not seeing it | 21:42 |
| * sadmac2 tries to remember if it was scrapped | 21:42 | |
| sadmac2 | solj: you'd need debug on to see it | 21:42 |
| sadmac2 | solj: init=/sbin/init --verbose | 21:42 |
| solj | sadmac2: right, i already added that | 21:43 |
| sadmac2 | solj: do you see the runlevel stuff? | 21:43 |
| solj | sadmac2: only numerous "Handling runlevel event" messages | 21:43 |
| solj | actually, it looks like one per boot | 21:44 |
| sadmac2 | ok so the runlevel event should have worked I'd think | 21:44 |
| solj | sadmac2: i don't see any runlevel {1,2,3,...} being emited | 21:44 |
| solj | just the handling message | 21:45 |
| sadmac2 | solj: yeah the event is just "runlevel" | 21:45 |
| sadmac2 | the number would be an argument | 21:45 |
| solj | hmm, ok | 21:45 |
| sadmac2 | ok fedora rcS.conf uses the startup event... | 21:46 |
| solj | lucid uses "start on runlevel S" | 21:46 |
| sadmac2 | I don't know this lucid thing | 21:47 |
| solj | sadmac2: ubuntu lucid? | 21:47 |
| solj | karmic+1 | 21:47 |
| sadmac2 | solj: ah. heh :) | 21:47 |
| sadmac2 | solj: I don't follow ubuntu. | 21:47 |
| sadmac2 | as much as I should really | 21:48 |
| solj | ah, i see | 21:48 |
| sadmac2 | Scott hasn't been around to clue me in either | 21:48 |
| solj | the main reason i'm trying this is because we are working on preparing a customized ubuntu distro which we use and would like to convert our init scripts to upstart if possible | 21:48 |
