Public bug reported: Starting and stopping services via upstart causes errors in the form of "init: Error while reading from descriptor: Bad file descriptor"
with a lot of services and on multiple machines featuring different hardware configurations. The services start without errors if launched with the same parameters from the command line. A result of this is the inability to launch lightdm. The system becomes near unuseable. Ubuntu version is 14.04.01 upstart package is up to date. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1373588 Title: Starting/Stopping services causes "init: Error while reading from descriptor: Bad file descriptor" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1373588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
