insserv or update-rc.d or something else?

[Berni Elbourn]

Hi,

I have a 10.04 lts system which seems to have been a victim of the 
problem described here.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/739007

I have used mv to alter the ordering of rc0.d, and rc6.d and the system 
no longer looses data on a clean halt/reboot.

However, is there an official way to fix this please?

I tried:

elbournb at ubuntu:~$ sudo update-rc.d halt defaults
update-rc.d: warning: halt start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not 
match LSB Default-Start values (none)
update-rc.d: warning: halt stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match 
LSB Default-Stop values (0)
  Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/halt ...
    /etc/rc0.d/K20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc1.d/K20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc6.d/K20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc2.d/S20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc3.d/S20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc4.d/S20halt -> ../init.d/halt
    /etc/rc5.d/S20halt -> ../init.d/halt

I think that might be worse?? and removed those links. insserv simply 
refuses to work:

elbournb at ubuntu:~$ sudo insserv -r halt
insserv: warning: script 'K20acpi-support' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0) of script `halt' 
overwrites defaults (empty).
The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs.
