[Bug 936667] Re: Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no initramfs (error is "No available ptys")

[Justin L Werner]

The --no-log will be a kernel command line option.

If you're on x86  or amd64, you would stop the Grub boot, and manually
edit the kernel cmdline to add the --no-log.  Then, once you're up and
running, you would edit /etc/default/grub changing  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX,
to affect both normal and recovery modes.   Once you've done that, you
run 'update-grub' and you should be good to go.

  Upstart early job logging causes boot failure for systems with no
  initramfs (error is "No available ptys")

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting 12.04 after a recent update, I see "init(4): no available
  ptys" being displayed faster than a machine gun. When I add --no-log
  as a kernel option and I'm able to boot just fine.
