I recently upgradeupgraded my server from Ubuntu V14.04 to V16.04 and now systemctl doesn't seem to work anymore.

Update Per @JdeBP deleting the screen-cleanup script resolved the problem

$ sudo rm /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup $ sudo systemctl disable transmission-daemon.service Synchronizing state of transmission-daemon.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install... Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable transmission-daemon insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6).

I can see the service is now disabled as required

initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart

I recently upgrade my server from Ubuntu V14.04 to V16.04 and now systemctl doesn't seem to work anymore.

I need to prevent transmission-daemon from starting automatically on boot so I issue the command

sudo systemctl disable transmission-daemon.service

And I get the following response

Synchronizing state of transmission-daemon.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install... Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable transmission-daemon initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs. insserv: warning: script 'screen-cleanup' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `screen-cleanup' insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script `screen-cleanup' insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `transmission-daemon' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6). initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

The service does not become disabled
