I think the problem is that nobody really wants to take responsibility for that. I have another bug open which describes Xorg not starting because it cannot open the console (which is probably the same why cups does not start sometimes). I posted this bug against upstart, but it was rejected as probably being a bug with nvidia, and that's where's the bug stuck now.
As far as I followed all these bug reports about services not starting etc, everything seems to come together around /dev/console and tty devices which cannot be opened, or the loopback devices initialized by the wrong service. So to me it is either a kernel bug (unlikely) or an upstart bug (wrong deps or events fired to early or missing / timing issues). The biggest problem however is I have to find arguments for my customers why we didn't choose Windows which "works much better" (which I don't believe in in the long run, as it usually does not "just work" for a longer time with unexperienced users, having to invest in all those costs like regular maintenance, windows license, antivir license, bigger hardware). 2010/7/1 Don Myers <donmy...@myersfarm.com> > But how do I explain to those whom I converted > to Ubuntu that a major issue like their printers not working isn't fixed > for over 2 months after the version was released.
