Public bug reported: I installed upstart and upstart-compat-sysvinit and did the reboot -f as instructed on the -devel mailing list. It booted OK. Only problem: I cannot reboot. Every time I choose to reboot (reboot or shutdown -r now)my system actually halts. "shutdown -h now" works, unsurprisingly, fine.
I have usplash. During the reboot process, right before usplash comes up again, I noticed the following message "Init: rc6 killed by signal 15" which doesn't appear during shutdown and seems relevant :-) I don't really know how to debug upstart - please ask for any information needed. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- System does not reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/58557 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
