Not sure this is a bug.
The error:
Setting up udev (204-5ubuntu20.7) ...
* udev requires hotplug support, not started
...fail!
occurs in /etc/init.d/udev when the script checks for the existence of
"/sys/kernel/uevent_helper" which does't exist unless the config option
"CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER"
I tested the problem on an OVH VPS.
I couldn't get 14.10 to manifest an issue. I think it works.
I was unable to test 15.04.
Running "service udev start" results in this below.
* udev requires hotplug support, not started
...fail!
I bypassed the issue last time by installing 12.04 and then
That still makes no sense -- udev has upstart scripts, so
/etc/init.d/udev should never run under upstart. If you run "service
udev start", what does that show? Is that calling the upstart job or the
init.d script?
Do you get this with 14.10 or 15.04 too?
** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Trusty)
I am running such a container (it's OpenVZ based)
It is running upstart as pid 1 (in the container) and it is unmodified
binary from trusty. (double verified with $ initctl version, which
confirms running init is in-fact upstart)
udev upgrade fails in trusty in that container
here is the mount:
