Hi *, after a dist-upgrade, my sid system wouldn’t boot at all any more: no network (because udev didn’t rename eth1 to eth0), read-only filesystem, I was dumped into a root shell after being asked for the root password, but by then the filesystem was read-write.
I was running file-rc and decided to revert to sysv-rc. Bad idea, now I had /etc/rc2.d/S01sendsigs and /etc/rc2.d/S24single – you can imagine this was not any better. I blame 3dab3d4d3e911c779a3d6c998b20609053dd5b88 in collab-maint/sysvinit for this. I installed upstart. Now I had network, at least, and *some* services would start, and I could login on tty2. I had to purge then dpkg -i initscripts, though. But things like kdm, openvpn, BOINC, etc. still won't start. tglase@tglase:~ $ ll /etc/*/*boinc* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2603 Jun 7 2013 /etc/bash_completion.d/boinc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2490 Jun 7 2013 /etc/default/boinc-client -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7673 Jun 7 2013 /etc/init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 10:00 /etc/rc0.d/K01boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 10:00 /etc/rc1.d/K01boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 11:07 /etc/rc2.d/S09boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 11:07 /etc/rc3.d/S09boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 11:07 /etc/rc4.d/S09boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 11:07 /etc/rc5.d/S09boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 3 10:00 /etc/rc6.d/K01boinc-client -> ../init.d/boinc-client* Now, question to both sysvinit/sysv-rc and upstart people: how do I “un-hose” this system? I need this for $dayjob, and I can’t even run Kontact because Akonadi won’t start (and I need the PIM functionality from it). And: why did this happen in the first place?
