Just tested with latest Trusty build (resized a Windows partition to get
it on another harddrive), the "initcl: Event failed" error message
appeared before I could log in, after I tried booting from recovery
mode. (Normal booting etc. just showed blinking underscore cursor)

Title:
  Unexpected crash in commandline mode Ubuntu 12.10 (initctl: Event
  failed)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installation Ubuntu 12.10 on a PC with GTX 770. The OS wouldn't boot probably because of driver bugs, it would display only purple lines at the top of the screen.
  Tried booting in recovery mode, option resume, got to the command line. After login at the command line the system crashes without notice and the screen goes black. This happens in a timing window of ~30 seconds to 2 minutes (tried a few times to get this bug report). There is a message on the screen but the screen goes black to fast to read it.

  After trying a while I managed to read it, the errormessage is:
  "initctl: Event failed"
  Hope it helps ;)
