[PVE-User] Ubuntu 14.04 boot fail on PVE 5.3-7

[Michał Szamocki]

Hello,

since weekend I have problems with LXC containers (upstart based) booting on Proxmox 5.3-7. Today I have created new container and after starting it only few upstart processes are running:
root at ubuntu14:~# ps ax
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
    1 ?        Ss     0:00 /sbin/init
   37 ?        S      0:00 @sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session
   39 ?        Ss     0:00 plymouth-upstart-bridge
   47 ?        S      0:00 mountall --daemon
  283 ?        S      0:00 upstart-socket-bridge --daemon
 1445 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/bash
 1481 ?        R+     0:00 ps ax

After switching to runlevel 2 container continues to boot:

What can I do to have fully booted container without runlevel switching?
