PUBLIC MARKS from night.kame with tag ubuntu

Yeah, I've got to chime in here. I've given upstart a chance for many versions now, as pointed out above. It is a nightmare. Its not more configurable, its less configurable and radically unstable, AND undocumented. Everything everyone used to claim about Linux is now true.

Upstart has taken away the benefit of running Linux machines. Unfortunately this is me and my boss talking. We've been searching for six hours now to try and figure out how to get one stinking runlevel to boot to the command line. All we can find is that its an all or nothing deal. Thats BS. Whos stupid idea was it to integrate gdm like that? And the answer isn't edit /etc/init/gdm.conf. That doesn't work. It gives a huge font and leaves you on the wrong tty.

Ubuntu : pour le plaisir de casser ce qui marche.
