[Bug 554172] Re: system services not starting at boot

[Hobson Lane]

Similar symptoms for me on fully upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 on Dell Inspiron
laptop dual-booting with Win7 using grub2. A triple-workaround that
worked for others here (but not me) is listed below.

sudo -s
for file in /etc/init/*.conf; do sed -i 's/^console output/\#console output/' $file; done
sed -i 's/start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo/start on filesystem and started rsyslog and net-device-up IFACE=lo/' /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init='\''\/sbin\/init --verbose'\''"/' /etc/default/grub
update-grub

My problem may be related to a failed hibernate resume due to laptop
battery draining below hibernate threshold just as I was correcting a
permissions misconfiguration on my /var or /usr directory that was
preventing proper OS operation. I think others have mentioned the
possibility of a stale file lock problem, but can't remember where or
how to correct it.
