While at the same time (in parallel??) starting a runlevel switch to the new (reboot) runlevel. Most noticeably here is that upstart spews messages like: -process tty1 died, respawning -process prefdm died, respawning (not the exact text but like that) While its busy shutting down services for the reboot.

[Bug 66002] Re: entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm
Actually, we have to check $1 as well - $UPSTART_EVENT is not reset if
the stop command is by exit, so it still contains "runlevel" because
that's what started the job.
if [ "${UPSTART_EVENT}" = "runlevel" -a "$1" != "S" ]
then
exit 100
fi
Seems right

Though also thinking about it, we really want the rc-default job to be run - and therefore the stopping event to know why it stopped ;) -- entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 66002] Re: entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm
Ok, so here's my current working theory on this bug. When you are in single-user mode, the rcS-default job is running: this is what runs "sulogin". Once "sulogin" finishes, this then runs "telinit" to switch to the default runlevel. If you type "reboot" inside the "sulogin" shell, that will run "shutdown" which will send a runlevel event to change the runlevel (to 6). Now, what's supposed to happen is this: * the rcS-sulogin job is stopped (stop on runlevel) * the rcS-sulogin script, sulogin, etc. are sent the TERM signal and die * the rc6 job is started (start on runlevel 6) * shutdown begins When I try it, that's what happens. Now, what I think *MIGHT* happen for some people is: * the rcS-sulogin job is stopped (stop on runlevel) * the sulogin script gets sent the TERM signal * the rcS-sulogin script continues, and gets to run "telinit 2" * the rcS-sulogin script gets send the TERM signal * _but_ telinit2 sends the "runlevel 2" event * the rc6 job is stopped (stop on runlevel [!6]) * the rc2 job is started (start on runlevel 2) * normal boot begins So this would be a race condition. 0.3 gives us an easy way to fix this, the job stop cause is in $UPSTART_EVENT for the post-stop script, so all we need to do is move the telinit into post-stop and only run if if $UPSTART_EVENT != runlevel Interestingly this is impossible with 0.5 because it doesn't reveal why a process was stopped, and this makes we realise that we do need that functionality -- entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 66002] Re: entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm
In Ubuntu 8.10, the wording has been changed to reflect the actual beahvior. It now reads "press ctrl-D to resume boot". I don't think this is a proper solution to the problem. IMHO there _have_ to be a way to properly shutdown without continuing the boot. E.g. one might want to make a copy of the corrupted filesystem before trying to repair it. Continuing the boot is the worst thing one can do in such a situation. -- entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still there in Ubuntu 8.04.1. I think its especially bad because fsck tells me to reboot (I guess that's recommended after root file system repair) and when I type "reboot" it starts up everything (which must be not recommended for the same reasons). -- entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, this is not printed. And in fact, ctrl-D won't reboot, either. There is really, really no way to properly reboot at this stage. "reboot -f" is _not_ a proper workaround, since it will not umount/sync filesystems properly.

Caused by the fact that the rcS job is still running, reboot issues the "shutdown" event but that won't actually complete until rcS and then rc2 have finished ... you'll probably find that the moment it hits gdm, it starts shutting down again? ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: (unassigned) => Scott James Remnant Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- entering 'reboot' at the rescue console brings up gdm https://launchpad.net/bugs/66002 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
