Hi Theodotus, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better!
I tried to reproduce this on a lucid VM, but have been unsuccessful. Is it possible your copy of /etc/init.d/networking has been altered so that initctl is no longer in the PATH? Can you run md5sum /etc/init.d/networking $ md5sum /etc/init.d/networking db7e515f04f04f54708b5ea862585c31 /etc/init.d/networking Also can you make sure initctl is present (though the system probably wouldn't be very usable without it): $ ls -l /sbin/initctl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114056 2010-04-01 17:13 /sbin/initctl Thanks Marking Incomplete pending response from Theodotos. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691470 Title: /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart: 13: initctl: not found -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
