Bug Description
Running Upstart 1.11 on a Raspbian OS.
trying to run upstart commands e.g.
initctl list
initctl list-env
as a normal user: pi on Raspbian throws this generic error message:
initctl: Name "com.ubuntu.
When I run as sudo things are all good.
I am filing this report to check if the message can also include run as root to make it very explicit.

To post a comment you must log in.
This is a usage error, not a permissions error.
When you run 'initctl' as a non-root user, by default it will try to connect to an upstart session instance.
To connect to the system init as non-root, invoke it as 'initctl --system'.
