Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, this issue is caused by the fact that a default
natty server does not install the "dbus" package and hence non-root
users are unable to communicate with Upstart using initctl (specifically
the "list" and "status" commands will not work).
So, to resolve your issue, there are 2 main choices:
- Use a full root shell such that tab completion will work.
("su -" or "sudo su -" and then initctl tab completion will work.
- install the dbus package ("sudo apt-get install dbus").
Non-root users will then be able to invoke initctl.
Clearly, you need to be aware of the implications of adopting either of
these choices.
