Are you familiar with OpenVZ ? VPS ? http://wiki.openvz.org/Main_Page
You build a "template" which then runs as a guest on the host node. There are several guides for how to do this, basically you use debootstrap http://wiki.openvz.org/Debian_template_creation You then start or boot the guest. I am showing you that the guest does not start normally. Ubuntu 9.10 worked until about a week ago, when the boot scripts were replaced, see my original bug report (which was marked as a duplicate of some unrelated bug ... ). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbase/+bug/431065 How can my system be "out of date" ??? I just built it using debootstrap, it is as up to date as possible, unless a new package was added to the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories in the last hour or so. What I am showing you is : 1. The upstart scripts do not run and , for example, networking is not started. The VPS I am showing you is a minimal . If you like I can install apache, nginx, mysql, any other server you wish and they sre not started when the VPS boots. 2. I believe it is upstart when we call a "service" to restart service foo restart so why is it that upstart is not recognizing the service "networking" ??? 3. As you can see, the boot scripts and upstart are calling a script, /lib/init/mount-functions.sh, which does not exist. It sure would be a shame if Ubuntu decides not to support running 9.10 in a VPS (As you know, VPS is popular in some circles, OpenVZ, parallels, Xen, VMWare ESi ... ). Ubuntu 91.0 was working , it is now broken, seemingly related to either upstart and or the boot process or it appears both. for example, why can I restart my network , and obtain an ip address and connectivity with /etc/init.d/networking restart but not service networking restart ??? And back at you, what is it you want me to use the --debug flag with exactly ??? -- Upstart fails to boot in an OpenVZ VPS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436130 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
