Where can i find inittab in Ubuntu Edgy Eft (or Feisty Fawn) ?

I'm sure many of you might stumbled upon this problem when you discovered first hand that there is no /etc/inittab file on Ubuntu Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn.
This is deliberate because Ubuntu do not use init anymore to manage its services during startup or shutdown of the system. Instead it uses 'upstart' as replacement for the traditional sysvinit utility that is common to Linux-based operating system.
All the things that you used to have in the /etc/inittab is ported to upstart's /etc/event.d/.
It might take some of time to get used to the way upstart manage things in your computer, For example, the settings for 'tty3' is located in '/etc/event.d/tty3' if you need to change it's parameter, and rc scripts on rc*.
Additionally You can use 'runlevel' command to determine which runlevel your computer is in.
Please refer to Upstart Project page if you're interested to know more about the project

I decided to figure out how this runlevel madness worked, and then came across a blog article that reminded me of Edgy’s use of upstart ( http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/03/wher…isty-fawn.html ) For anyone else that might happen along here from google, here is the configuration I put in /etc/event.d in a file called "fixvideo": Code: [...]

I’m starting from a clean install from the ubuntu-7.04-server-i386 CD. I’m fairly sure the kernel is configured for a serial console out of the box — or at least, I don’t know why else this would mean: ~$ grep -i serial /boot/config-2.6.20-15-server | grep -i console CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y I used the http://www.howtoforge.com/setting_up_a_serial_console serial console howto, up until it said to edit /etc/inittab and I discovered that I had none. A little googling on this led me to discover upstart, and per http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/03/where-can-i-find-inittab-in-ubuntu-edgy-eft-or-feisty-fawn.html I edited /etc/event.d/tty1 and tty2 instead of /etc/inittab. The net result of which is: in /boot/grub/menu.lst, I inserted serial –unit=0 –speed=9600 –word=8 –parity=no –stop=1 terminal –timeout=10 serial console and appended console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 to the kernel line in each kernel stanza. And in /etc/event.d/tty1 and tty2 I changed 38400 to 9600. Then I re-booted the machine, which produced the following output to the serial console (this is from a conserver log; those of you familiar with conserver will recognize that I’ve cleaned up some line noise; I’ve also split up one long line using the usual backslash convention): Press any key to continue. Press any key to continue. Press any key to continue. Press any key to continue. Press any key to continue. Press any key to continue.

[...] I’m trying to boot to runlevel 3 on my Kubuntu FF. As I have been able to determine I should edit /etc/inittab accordingly. However I don’t have inittab in /etc. This is a multi-boot system with XP, Mandriva, and Kubuntu most recently installed as the default. Thanks in advance. They have stopped using inittab and init to control startup and shutdown services. For more complete info check out upstart (the new "init") and these links: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/0…..-fawn.html http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ It seems that you would need to edit /etc/event.d/rc-default to change the default runlevel. I have not tired this and cannot guarantee that this may not cause severe system problems. Attempt this at your own risk. I would suggest googling upstart +feisty/ubuntu. HTH Jerry [...]
