[Bug 481023] Re: Hang when going to super-user mode via telinit 1

[Clint Byrum]

I know this is a very old bug report (thanks for reporting it) but it
doesn't seem to have any +1's and there's some information missing for
being able to reproduce or understand it.

Please if you are still experiencing this on a currently supported
release of Ubuntu, open a new bug report with

apport-bug

Thanks!

Title:
  Hang when going to super-user mode via telinit 1

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  For some unknown reason, my computer will hang with a black screen or
  a scrambled screen when I try to " sudo telinit 1 ". From what I
  understand it is supposed to dump me into a lower level login shell,
  but it never arrives, no matter how long I wait.

  I also have this hang sometimes happen when I select shutdown or
  restart, tho its far an few inbetween, but this happens 100% of the
  times whenever I directly type in sudo telinit 1.

  Also, sudo telinit S does absolutely nothing for my session.

  Let, me know if I can provide any more information.
