I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events, but I install git-daemon on Ibex. I believe this installs runit (??).
When I boot, I get the Ubuntu splash screen come up, but about half way through it drops to the console with the message: Loading the saved-state of the serial devices... -runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1 -runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2 The computer just sits there without starting gdm. Virtual consoles still work, and I am able to startx from a different console. However, I don't have networking (ping doesn't connect to anything, for example), and Gnome complains about failing to initialise HAL. I have now uninstalled runit, and can now get back to a useable system. -- runit messes up system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
