lp keeps timing out on me when I attempt to attach a file. Meantime... I've managed to force a crash after ~150 iterations of bug-1430403.sh using http://people.canonical.com/~jhunt/upstart/bug-1430403.tgz.
To recreate: $ sudo tar xvfz bug-1430403.tgz $ sudo bash bug-1430403.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1430403 Title: ubuntu-touch livefs builds kill upstart in host Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ubuntu-touch livefs builds have started killing upstart in the host system (in this case, precise, although a similar bug appears to be present in current versions). The livefs build completes, but the host dies shortly after launchpad-buildd starts trying to remove the build chroot. The kernel log looks like this: Mar 10 13:46:55 allspice kernel: [3743880.621603] init: /home/buildd/build-LIVEFSBUILD-22254/chroot-autobuild/build/chroot/etc/init/tty1.conf: Unable to reload configuration after override deletion Mar 10 13:46:55 allspice kernel: [3743880.642455] init: file.c:110: Unhandled error from nih_file_read: No such file or directory Mar 10 13:46:55 allspice kernel: [3743880.754281] init: Caught abort, core dumped Mar 10 13:46:55 allspice kernel: [3743880.754375] init: file.c:110: Unhandled error from nih_file_read: No such file or directory Mar 10 13:46:55 allspice kernel: [3743880.757830] init: Caught abort, core dumped This appears to be because a couple of functions call conf_reload_path, which may leave an nih_error in place if nih_file_read fails, but then do not dispose of the nih_error. The pattern near the end of conf_file_visitor (in precise) is probably appropriate. We're working around this to some extent in livecd-rootfs by removing the .override files first, but it should never be possible for a chroot to crash the host's init.
