So, this corresponds to urfkill being started. Which is because urfkill is marked as 'start on started udev'. I don't know why urfkill wasn't /already/ running; it wasn't part of this upgrade and its 'stop condition is 'stop on shutdown' which wouldn't have been met. And there is no /var/log/upstart/urfkill.log. /var/log/dmesg suggests that it failed to start on boot, dying with SIGTRAP: [ 11.585810] init: urfkill main process (755) killed by TRAP signal [ 11.585839] init: urfkill main process ended, respawning [ 11.598492] init: urfkill main process (760) killed by TRAP signal [ 11.598521] init: urfkill respawning too fast, stopped So, reassigning to urfkill. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => urfkill (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: urfkill (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288411 Title: udev restart on upgrade broke my wireless state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/urfkill/+bug/1288411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
