Happens to me as well from time to time, really unpredictable. But failure is related to console existence. This also sometimes make X fail (NVidia card here). What I could diff from syslog between a successful startup and a no runlevel situation is that only the 2 following messages are missing in the failure case: - lp: driver loaded but no devices found - Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 Sure that lp driver has nothing to do here.
I'll add suggested verbose init option above and come back with log if that happens again. -- Some services not started on boot, runlevel returns "unknown" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543506 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
