According to the official release notes of the Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) operating system released by Canonical on April 23, 2015, this is the first ever version of Ubuntu to ship with the controversial systemd init system by default.

Some will say that systemd is a very innovative and useful piece of software, but there are many others who don't agree with this statement. Therefore, Canonical instructs its users on how to disable systemd and switch back to using Upstart as the default init system.

To do so, select the "Advanced options for Ubuntu" at the boot prompt when your computer starts. Then, select the "Ubuntu, with Linux ... (upstart)" entry. However, this will work only for the current session, so if you want to make it permanent, you'll have to install the upstart-sysv package.
