[Bug 262512] Re: runit messes up system

[Mark Carter]

I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events, but I install git-daemon
on Ibex. I believe this installs runit (??).

When I boot, I get the Ubuntu splash screen come up, but about half way through it drops to the console with the message:
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
-runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1
-runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2

The computer just sits there without starting gdm. Virtual consoles
still work, and I am able to startx from a different console. However, I
don't have networking (ping doesn't connect to anything, for example),
and Gnome complains about failing to initialise HAL.

I have now uninstalled runit, and can now get back to a useable system.
