[Bug 1015348] [NEW] openssh-server package does not start sshd on a live CD boot

[Thomi Richards]

Public bug reported:

When booting into a live CD image (either quantal or precise),
installing the openssh-server package does not start the ssh daemon. I
get the following output while installing the package:

Preconfiguring packages ...
Selecting previously unselected package openssh-server.
(Reading database ... 154905 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking openssh-server (from .../openssh-server_1%3a6.0p1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously unselected package ssh-import-id.
Unpacking ssh-import-id (from .../ssh-import-id_2.12-0ubuntu1_all.deb) ...

Processing triggers for ufw ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...

Creating SSH2 ECDSA key; this may take some time ...
initctl: Unknown job: ssh
start: Unknown job: ssh
Setting up ssh-import-id (2.12-0ubuntu1) ...


Trying to start it manually produces the same result:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo start ssh
start: Unknown job: ssh
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service ssh start
initctl: Unknown job: ssh

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start ssh
