I was trying to use a newer compiler (GCC 5+) and so was forced to upgrade several external packages that would not compile under the new GCC. I compiled the following versions of Upstart and its immediate dependencies: ? ? upstart: 1.13.2 ?? ? libnih: 1.0.3 ?? ? dbus: 1.11.2 ?? ? json-c: 0.12.1 When I boot, I get the following message: ? ? init: com.ubuntu.Upstart.c:3525: Assertion failed in control_emit_event_emitted: env != NULL? ? init: Caught abort, core dumped? ? Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000600 Searching online did not yield useful hints - [the only relevant issue I found is this -?https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1161329/, but it is relevant to an older version of Upstart, and my libnih is of the correct version already. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
