Okay, it looks like upstart isn't running /etc/init/start-ttys.conf
After running "initctl list" and seeing that tty was in stop/waiting, I
manually ran:
initctl start tty TTY=/dev/tty1
six times to get the six usual ttys. After looking at start-ttys.conf I
guess I could have just run that once instead. Now "initctl list" looks
like:
$initctl list
rc start/running, process 1507
tty (/dev/tty3) start/running, process 6169
tty (/dev/tty2) start/running, process 6167
tty (/dev/tty1) start/running, process 6165
tty (/dev/tty6) start/running, process 6176
tty (/dev/tty5) start/running, process 6174
tty (/dev/tty4) start/running, process 6172
plymouth-shutdown stop/waiting
control-alt-delete stop/waiting
rcS-emergency stop/waiting
readahead-collector stop/waiting
kexec-disable stop/waiting
quit-plymouth stop/waiting
rcS stop/waiting
prefdm stop/waiting
init-system-dbus stop/waiting
readahead stop/waiting
splash-manager stop/waiting
start-ttys stop/waiting
readahead-disable-services stop/waiting
rcS-sulogin stop/waiting
serial stop/waiting
Which looks right to me. At the moment I'm at work and this host is at
home so I can't check the console.
I looked at start-ttys.conf:
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
That looks right. Can anyone tell me why it's not running?
