The most recent update to upstart (sorry, don't have a version because I had to back it off my system) may be a result of the above problem. I am running 9.10 with kubuntu loaded but having place XFCE on top of that.

When the system boots if ALL the latest updates as of 1-13-2010, many services fail to start but I can get into XFCE, meaning that KDM did get started. Networking also started but sshd, postfix, and many other services fail to start. And I cannot under these conditions get out of XFCE and into a real console session. All I get is a cursor, no login prompt.

I have narrowed the problem down to just the recent UPSTART update. All other updates including kernel 2.6.31-17 run just fine.
