[02:32] <kb9vqf> wgrant: After rebooting our production Launchpad instance to apply dirty COW fixes Launchpad won't start
[02:32] <kb9vqf> stopping services on exception Exception('Timeout waiting for txlongpoll to start.',)
[02:33] <kb9vqf> never seen this before, any ideas?
[03:04] <kb9vqf> I forced the production instance back online by disabling txlongpoll entirely in the startup script.  From what I understand, it's some kind of Internet download interface so _maybe_ we won't miss it?  Still would like to know why it failed after a simple reboot
[05:40] <wgrant> kb9vqf: I'm not sure why it would fail to start, but it's not used by any production features so it's fine to turn off.
[05:41] <kb9vqf> wgrant: Great, thanks!  Had a bit of a panic moment when it wouldn't start and a lead developer on one of the projects needed to get release builds uploaded....
[05:42] <kb9vqf> I think there are a couple other logs on the Internet showing the same failure but in those cases retrying it fixed the problem.  This was quite persistent across multiple machine reboots, etc.
[05:42] <kb9vqf> the process itself was running, but the diagnostics were useless\
