[Bug 980917] [NEW] Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job

[Tim Heckman]

Public bug reported:

I believe this bug is in Upstart due to similar bug that was recently
fixed:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/936667

I am booting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x86) as a domU under Xen.  After the
previous bug was fixed, I still received the errors but the system now
boots.  However, during the boot process I see a lot of these errors:

====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
init: Temporary process spawn error: No such file or directory
====

These combination of errors print, and then this line is spat out
multiple times:

====
init: Failed to create pty - disabling logging for job
====

I'm currently using a custom compiled kernel that exists outside of the
filesystem.  The issue also is present on the Ubuntu-supplied Linux
kernel booted under PV-GRUB.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
