[Bug 1495196] [NEW] Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

.xsession-errors has many entries like:

upstart: upstart-event-bridge main process (1511) terminated with status 1
upstart: upstart-event-bridge respawning too fast, stopped

The terminal output is :
 sudo status upstart-event-bridge
[sudo] password for oem:
status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

ls -l /usr/share/upstart/sessions/upstart-event-bridge.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 385 may  18 12:21 /usr/share/upstart/sessions/upstart-event-bridge.conf

This issue has been reported many times by the past, and already fixed:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/901038/comments/14
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1449765

Some workarounds also have been proposed, like:
dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl
ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

But with the recent ubuntu realeases systemd is  now doing more & more
jobs previously done by upstart. So the solutions of the past might not
be the best choice nowadays.

And the http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ seems outdated as it does
not consider the systemd existence.
