OK, I've finally managed to work out that a "-" before the line means "delete" and a "+" insert. So now my rcS looks as follows:
# This task runs the old sysv-rc startup scripts. start on startup stop on runlevel # Note: there can be no previous runlevel here, if we have one it's bad # information (we enter rc1 not rcS for maintenance). console output script set $(runlevel --set S || true) if [ "$1" != "unknown" ]; then PREVLEVEL=$1 RUNLEVEL=$2 export PREVLEVEL RUNLEVEL fi PREVLEVEL=N RUNLEVEL=S export PREVLEVEL RUNLEVEL exec /etc/init.d/rcS end script -- /etc/event.d/rcS does not set RUNLEVEL properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
