[Bug 1303769] Re: xubuntu 14.04 service start, stop, does not work in terminal emulation

I just hit this bug with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.4 Desktop.

Inside Unity, I open a terminal and if I do "service ssh status" I get:
status: Unknown job: ssh

But if I ssh to that box with the same user, the same command works
fine.

The workarounds are to do "sudo service ssh status" or to do "unset
UPSTART_SESSION" before doing "service ssh status".

Can anyone look at this?

Title:
  xubuntu 14.04 service start,stop, does not work in terminal emulation

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  xubuntu from installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu313 terminal emulation can
  not change service status.

  e.g.

  > service smbd restart
  stop: Unknown job: smbd
  start: Unknown job: smbd


  however on tty1 this works as expected. i.e. the smbd is stopped then
  started again with a process number given in output.
