Because systemd, apparently nobody ever bothered to fix this. Here is my patch to make CLI working.
** Patch added: "upstart-monitor.cli.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1235245/+attachment/5010432/+files/upstart-monitor.cli.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235245 Title: upstart-monitor cannot run without gtk libraries installed Status in upstart : New Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "upstart-monitor -n" should revert to cli operation. It attempts to do this, but then barfs on class UpstartEventsGui(Gtk.Window) since Gtk is not imported unless the required gtk libraries are installed.
