Either

create "/etc/inittab" with an "id:1:initdefault:" line

or

add "1", "s", or "S" to the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINE_DEFAULT=" line in
"/etc/default/grub" and run "update-grub".

I have yet to understand why Ubuntu doesn't utilize it. Ric

Because Ubuntu has transferred the functionality of "/etc/initab" to
"/etc/init/*", except for "initdefault" (AFAIK) most probably because
Ubuntu and Debian only use a default of runlevel 2.

Right, I was just openly wondering why? Isn't the use of /etc/inittab
supposed to be the universal standard? Just wondering if there was some
sort of benefit to the fork. Thanks, Ric

AFAICT, the only benefit is one of coherence; namely that it is
upstart that now controls what was in "/etc/inittab" and therefore the
configuration of the items in "/etc/inittab" belong in "/etc/init".

There must be some historical reason for splitting up the boot
configuration between "/etc/inittab" and "/etc/rc.conf" but I can't
fathom it at the moment and it must no longer apply (and perhaps
should've been removed when the "/etc/rcX.d" system came into being).
I'm too tired at the moment to think about this clearly; sorry.

No. It's just a config file used by SysV init. As Ubuntu doesn't use
SysV init but Upstart this file is not present by default (but used by
Upstart if it is there).

Upstart offers much features SysV init doesn't. For end users the most
visible one is a much faster boot time.

Thanks. Olde Skool here, I just missed it being there. Along with floppy
drives, it's another reminder that what we used to know ain't squat no
mo'. <sighs> <drinks more prune juice> <falls face-first into my

This was discussed in the xubuntu list:

Now we change the run level to 1:

Edit:
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf

env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=2
...should be...
env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=1

Ubuntu will run on level 1 instead of 2 for until you change this again.

Thanks.

Never noticed the "env" statements before! Was planning to file a
feature request for an "/etc/default/runlevel" option...
