https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/554172?comments=all <--- This bug was initially classified as a CUPS bug, but it has been moved to an Upstart bug.
It is very similar to this bug. I am posting a link here since there may be more useful information there. To summarize what I observe in both bugs: -services sometimes do not start on boot. irqbalance, winbindd, cupsd are the major ones. runlevel command will report 'unknown' -on some boots, all services will start ok. runlevel command will report 'N 2' -if you think you have it fixed, boot 10 times at least to see if you can get it to fail. -if you have a bad boot, 'sudo start rc-sysinit' seems to start the services that did not start. -- Some services not started on boot, runlevel returns "unknown" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543506 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
