Ach, I meant to sent tty8.conf with comments.. Anyway put it into /etc/init/ (using livecd or some other means) that is the only way I can get console (in tty8 = alt+F8) and upstart init running. After I manually start everything from /etc/rcS.d and rc2.d and take care of mounts (like home) I have a usable system. For some reason some of the upgreades messed up upstart thing and none of the upgrades to date have fixed it. It has to do something with upstart and maybe something in the conversion process. Anyway if I have --debug in grub boot config (just after "ro ") I can see that upstart starts and stops udevmonitor and then just stops. running 'runlevel' gives me unknown Also to compat "blank screen" problem I have to use i915.modeset=0 (even though it complains) to see whats going on. if I then (after boot) remove i915 and install it with modeset=1 I have to start X to get console back to normal I hope this helps others... Cheers, Manwe ps. I thing all those duplicate bugs are related both there are multiple issues here and not all of them have been fixed. Unfortunately they hit as at the same time -- upstart hangs at udev unknown key errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430667 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
