Comment 20 for bug 477513

Why mark this invalid and start a new bug report? Isn't that just making this more complicated than it needs to be?

Sorry, but I just feel like getting hung up on the bug reporting process and moving information around isn't adding anything to the process of actually solving the bug.

And in any case, the command you gave me doesn't work:

$ sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport restartsudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport restart
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service apport restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart apport
start: Job failed to start
