Package: laptop-mode-tools
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I installed pbbuttonsd which also installed ethtool, laptop-mode-tools, and
sdparm as dependencies. When I attempted to reboot, the output console hung
on "[....} Deconfiguring network interfaces..." for several minutes. When I
did a hard boot, it got me to the lightdm screen, but after logging in almost
everything was broken. Then I switched to a console with ctl+alt+F1, and the
output was hung on "[....] Enabling laptop mode...Bus error" with a blinking
cursor on the next line. I couldn't log into any other console because there
was no login line, just a blank cursor. Returning to a very broken X, I
could open an xterm window, but "sudo shutdown now -r" did nothing but return
a blank cursor.
The only way out was to hard boot into single user mode and do an aptitude
purge of the packages I just installed. I uninstalled pbbuttonsd, ethtool,
and sdparm first and still had the same symptoms. It was only when I
uninstalled laptop-mode-tools that everything worked again as before.
To reiterate, the startup console at ctl+alt+F1 hangs on "[....] Enabling
laptop mode...Bus error", and when I try to reboot via the restart menu in
lightdm, the console output shows the following:
[ ok ] Disabling laptop mode...[....] Stopping network connection manager: wicd.
done (Warning: Configuration file /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/board-specific/*.conf
is not readable, skipping.).
[ ok ] Asking all remaining processes to terminate...done.
Currently running processes (pstree):
init-+-2*[ifconfig]
|-iwconfig
|-iwlist
|-minissdpd
|-rc---startpar---sendsigs---pstree
|-rpc.statd
|-rpcbind
`-rsyslogd---3*[{rsyslogd}]
[FAIL] Killing all remaining processes...failed.
a few more lines here about the system clock and such, then:
[....] Deconfiguring network interfaces...
and that's where it hangs until I hard boot. And also, the folder
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/board-specific didn't exist. I'm using a dual-usb G3
iBook and Debian Testing if that helps, and this problem was reproduced over
several reboots.
Regards,
Dan

I have tested it. If you disable the /etc/init.d/network script, the
delay is gone. Closing this bug report.
If you still see the problem, feel free to re-open it.
