Bootchart - no chart

[John Yates]

Binary package hint: bootchart

Hardy bootchart does not produce chart. bootchart.tgz is produced. Reverting sun-java6 packages from
6-04-0ubuntu1 to 6-03-0ubuntu2 fixes problem.

6-03-0ubuntu2 did not fix the issue, what I did was remove 6-04-0ubuntu2 and I also removed all kernels except 1 kernel and removed bootchart, then reinstalled, and it does not log to /var/log/bootchart/*
Here is my apt-cache policy sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-bin:
  Installed: 6-03-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 6-04-2
  Version table:
     6-04-2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages
 *** 6-03-0ubuntu2 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Any idea why I cannot get this started?
Thanks!
Kyle

i use ubuntu 8.04 lts, installed bootchart, editted Grub so bootchart would do it´s thing but all it does is drop me to a busybox (couldn find /sbin/bootchart). (which is right, i can find bootchart myself even though it IS installed with sudo apt-get install bootchart.

[Divilinux (divilinux)]

when u install bootchart, you first need sun-java* installed and selected via

sudo update-alternatives --config java

After that, you must consider that we are using an initrd system (like Debian) so we need to regenerate initramfs for bootchart to works:

sudo update-initramfs -u -k kernel_name

..where kernel_name is:

uname -r

Marking as fixed after successful standard installation in Intrepid, followed by expected generation of the bootchart image in /var/log/bootchart/ after boot without any special configuration needed.
