Ubuntu 18.04 update-rc.d doesn't do the right thing
I have a newly installed 18.04 system and I am installing VirtualBox on it, with the autostart startup scripts.
The autostart startup scripts correctly list the VirtualBox kernel module as a dependency in the LSB section of the /etc/init.d/ scripts as follows:
/etc/init.d/virtualbox:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: vboxdrv virtualbox
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: VirtualBox Linux kernel module
### END INIT INFO
/etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: vboxautostart-service
# Required-Start: vboxdrv
# Required-Stop: vboxdrv
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Description: VirtualBox autostart service
### END INIT INFO
However, after I run;
sudo update-rc.d vboxautostart-service defaults
the /etc/rc*.d/ directories list vboxautostart-service as S01* and K01*. This causes the dependency between the two to not be honored, and my VirtualBox VMs do not get auto started because the kernel module is not loaded on startup.
For example, here is the dir listing of /etc/rc5.d:
S01acpid S01dbus S01saned
S01anacron S01gdm3 S01speech-dispatcher
S01apport S01grub-common S01spice-vdagent
S01avahi-daemon S01irqbalance S01ssh
S01bluetooth S01kerneloops S01unattended-upgrades
S01console-setup.sh S01ntp S01uuidd
S01cron S01plymouth S01vboxautostart-service
S01cups S01rsync S01virtualbox
S01cups-browsed S01rsyslog S01whoopsie
This works fine on 16.04. Here's the listing of /etc/rc5.d on 16.04:
README S01rsyslog S02dbus S03grub-common
S01apport S01unattended-upgrades S02irqbalance S03ondemand
S01lvm2-lvmetad S01uuidd S02mdadm S03plymouth
S01lvm2-lvmpolld S01virtualbox S02ntp S03rc.local
S01lxcfs S02acpid S02rsync
S01lxd S02atd S02ssh
S01open-vm-tools S02cron S02vboxautostart-service
Is this broken in 18.04?
