[Bug 980917] Re: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job

[Tim Heckman]

** Description changed:

  I believe this bug is in Upstart due to similar bug that was recently
  fixed:
  
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/936667
  
  I am booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86) as a domU under Xen.  After the
  previous bug was fixed, I still received the errors but the system now
- boots.  However, during the boot process I see a lot of these errors:
+ boots which is an improvement.  During the boot process I see a few
+ combinations of this error:
  
  ====
  init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
  init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory
  ====
  
- These combination of errors print, and then this line is spat out
- multiple times:
+ After those two stop, I see a few more of these errors:
  
  ====
  init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
  ====
  
- I'm currently using a custom compiled kernel that exists outside of the
- filesystem.  The issue also is present on the Ubuntu-supplied Linux
- kernel booted under PV-GRUB.
+ The above error also prints if I type "poweroff" or "shutdown"
+ 
+ This system's ultimate destiny is to operate using a custom-compiled
+ Linux kernel that does not exist on the filesystem.  Both the Ubuntu-
+ supplied Linux kernel and the custom-compiled Linux kernel are afflicted
+ by this bug.
  
  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
