Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
Running on a freshly installed 32-bit Karmic, I've got the same symptoms as in bug #497299. After boot, pulseaudio is the only service that runs. Manually running sudo modprobe vboxdrv will allow me to use my VM's and sudo service cups start will let me print again.
The workarounds reported for bug #497299 don't work for me. I've got a correct /etc/network/
I see other people have the same thing but was instructed to open a separate bug for it. What can I provide to help debugging?
lucid 10.04 (beta 2 or so)
upstart 0.6.3-11build1
runlevel shows "N 2" but no eth0 or dbus or expected daemons from /etc/init.d sysvinit.
I didn't learn anything from logs or /etc/init.d upstart scripting.
I reinstalled upstart and its deps. initscripts sysv-rc sysvinit-utils mountall upstart ureadahead libdbus-1-3 libudev0
Now this is really weird. I had just used the same install iso to install to two usb keys before this one, and did not have the problem! Too many variables to help then, but another instance of the problem and there are other bug threads on this or similar. Some might be distinctly diff bug reports since they have an unknown runlevel.
I don't have pulseaudio or gstreamer, can't, and dbus won't start manually. Sometimes ck-launch-session can't run, and startxfce4, and kdm and gdm can never run or take over the tty. Maybe those are dbus related. There is no dbus socket in /var/run/dbus and that crashes many apps.
I have another desktop running upstart 0.6.3-11 without the problem. Hmm.
