Comment 148 for bug 554172

I think the problem is that nobody really wants to take responsibility for
that. I have another bug open which describes Xorg not starting because it
cannot open the console (which is probably the same why cups does not start
sometimes). I posted this bug against upstart, but it was rejected as
probably being a bug with nvidia, and that's where's the bug stuck now.

As far as I followed all these bug reports about services not starting etc,
everything seems to come together around /dev/console and tty devices which
cannot be opened, or the loopback devices initialized by the wrong service.
So to me it is either a kernel bug (unlikely) or an upstart bug (wrong deps
or events fired to early or missing / timing issues).

The biggest problem however is I have to find arguments for my customers why
we didn't choose Windows which "works much better" (which I don't believe in
in the long run, as it usually does not "just work" for a longer time with
unexperienced users, having to invest in all those costs like regular
maintenance, windows license, antivir license, bigger hardware).
