Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
This upstart configuration file worked in Karmic: # hvc0.conf start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] respawn exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 hvc0 After the upgrade to Lucid, something is silently moving this file to /etc/event.disabled and not logging the action. If I move this file back to /etc/init and do `initctl start hvc0`, then the getty is properly started. It is only at boot time that the upstart fails to start the getty. I tried these variants: # hvc0.conf start on tty-added stop on tty-removed TTY=$TTY instance TTY exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 $TTY # hvc0.conf start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] respawn exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 hvc0 # hvc0.conf start on (tty-device-added KERNEL=hvc0 and runlevel [23]) exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 hvc0 In the Xen guest domU environment, these configurations all work for tty console devices, but not for hvc console devices during system startup. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upstart disables hvc0 getty in Lucid 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572708 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
