CtfINCPlease look at Bug #1436956, Critical system files such as /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/init missing after updating upstart. Proposed importance: Critical19:17
ubot5bug 1436956 in upstart (Ubuntu) "Critical system files such as /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/init missing after updating upstart" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143695619:17
rbasakCtfINC: we're using systemd by default in Vivid now. So I don't think the steps to reproduce are particularly clear here.19:23
rbasakIs this a non-default system configuration?19:23
tewardrbasak: should that bug be marked "Vivid uses systemd by default, now, is this on a non-default configuration?" and status.set(Incomplete)?19:24
rbasakBinaries are shipped in upstart-bin now I believe.19:24
* teward ran out of things to do nowadays19:24
rbasakIf you like :)19:24
tewarddone because i'm bored :)19:25
rbasakThanks.19:25
rbasakarmhf suggests it to me. I want to know how the system was installed.19:25
tewardooo ubuntu-server daily crashed my VMware guest enviro o.o19:26
tewardthat concerns me19:26
teward(sorry, i'm babbling, i'll be silent)19:26
rbasakIt sounds like the system doesn't have a suitable metapackage pulling upstart in or something.19:26
CtfINCrbasak: Yes this is a system with both systemd and upstart installed. It is the default Docker image provided by labs.online.net19:29
teward*why* do they even offer a 15.04 image19:30
tewardthey're stupid to do so, just saying19:30
rbasakCtfINC: probably best to start by reporting the bug to them.19:31
rbasakCtfINC: I believe the binaries are provided by upstart-bin now. So the question is why it hasn't been pulled in by a suitable metapackage on upgrade (or similar).19:32
CtfINCrbasak: Yes I plan to also report to them. The image is under "InstantApps" and named "Docker 1.3.2 + fig + nsenter + pipework + gosu". Currently they require an invitation to sign up, but may be launching soon.19:32
rbasakCtfINC: it could well be an installer bug, but presumably the Docker image wasn't constructed by an installer shipped by Ubuntu.19:32
rbasakCtfINC: please could you update the bug with this information?19:33
CtfINCrbasak: I looked at the changelog of upstart package, the problem is that those binaries are moved from upstart to upstart-sysv (a new package), thus missing in upstart latest version.19:33
rbasakAh, right.19:34
CtfINCrbasak: And the system does not require upstart-sysv to be installed during the "apt-get upgrade" process. Hence the binaries are missing and system is dead.19:35
rbasakCtfINC: though now in Vivid systemd is default.19:35
rbasakCtfINC: so anybody wanting to use upstart needs to install the correct package manually.19:35
CtfINCrbasak: Thanks I will open a ticket with online.net19:35
rbasakCtfINC: OTOH, the bug might be that it didn't get upgraded from upstart correctly.19:35
rbasak(to systemd)19:35
rbasakBut I believe that has worked correctly for everybody else, so it's likely something missing in their image build process.19:36
CtfINCrbasak: If you need further information I'd be happy to provide.19:36
rbasakCtfINC: I'd say this bug is very close to "Invalid" for Ubuntu right now - no known way to reproduce on an Ubuntu system. Maybe I don't have all the information though, but in the first instance it needs to be addressed by the vendor of your Docker image.19:37
rbasakI'm not sure what else I can ask, apart from a technical analysis from them on why this is a bug in Ubuntu as opposed to their image build process.19:37
CtfINCrbasak: By the way I just found another bug report a couple of days ago, with the same issue19:37
CtfINCrbasak: Please see Bug #143669119:38
ubot5bug 1436691 in upstart (Ubuntu) "Essential files are missing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143669119:38
rbasakCtfINC: it's still seems unlikely to me. That reporter has provided no information on system details.19:39
rbasakCtfINC: if there were really a "system can't boot" on upgrade within Vivid bug, I'd expect dozens of reports within a day.19:40
CtfINCrbasak: The latest version of upstart package moves the binaries to upstart-sysv, but it does not depend on upstart-sysv. I think the problem is here?19:40
rbasakI'm open to finding some kind of weird edge case bug of course.19:40
rbasakCtfINC: but all Vivid systems should successfully have switched to systemd already.19:40
rbasakMaybe there's a bug somewhere that causes that to fail.19:40
CtfINCrbasak: Thanks for the responses19:41
