Neil, hi. I'm the original reporter, although by now I think it is clear that many people see this bug. For me, it is 100% reproducible. I only use stock Lenny i386 kernels, and I don't have /usr on a separate partition. I certainly use initramfs, since I'm using a stock kernel. I reproduce this

Thanks to #splashy and Mattkijs Kooijman, we have a solution. It's not a very good solution, but it proves we know what the problem is: The solution is to delay the init process for one or two seconds after splashy boot ie change /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/splashy and add

The original launchpad report doesn't mention data loss, but it does indicate a bug in Nautilus which causes 'inconvenience'. However, Windows users probably have similar but not identical problems. According to that report 1. NTFS is case-sensitive, so the underlying file system is case sensitive

2009-01-06 Thread Tim Richardson
I think a delay of 1 second is probably five times too long even in worst cases, but if I didn't make mistakes in the code, it won't matter because a signal will arrive quickly. Slower machines don't necessarily make the race condition more likely to occur. The "window of error" is only the exec

The bug only occurs when gksu uses su to launch apps. Using sudo doesn't show the bug. Therefore, a workaround: 1) enable sudo for your user (as root, do visudo and copy the existing privilege for the root user (near the end of the file), substituting your userid) 2) as your user, run gconf-edit
