[Bug 304136] Re: [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash
This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.26 --- usplash (0.5.26) jaunty; urgency=low * Fix various compiler warnings. * debian/splash-functions: Kill usplash more gracefully in splash_stop; introduces new SPLASH_ORIG_CONSOLE environment variable which can be checked by other init scripts (LP: #304136). * Notify the main loop by means of a self-pipe when SIGALRM is triggered, rather than attempting to animate the display from a signal handler (thanks to Andrea Gasparini for testing and adjustment; LP: #259761). * Sleep for 0.1 second rather than 1 second in init script while waiting for usplash to die, and adjust the loop count both there and in splash-functions to match the previous behaviour of giving usplash up to 10 seconds to go away (LP: #313574). -- Colin Watson cjwat...@ubuntu.com Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:00:21 + ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released -- [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 304136] Re: [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash
This happens to me too. If I switch VTs during the boot (to cause usplash to stop early), the corruption doesn’t happen. I have narrowed down the time of the corruption to while /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm is running. The gdm initscript is supposed to close usplash before loading gdm. One stupid workaround is to put the following executable script into /etc/rc2.d/S29go-away-usplash: #!/bin/sh DO_NOT_SWITCH_VT=yes exec /etc/init.d/usplash start I don’t understand what exactly is wrong with the existing code in the gdm initscript to do the same thing. ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 304136] Re: [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash
I triaged a bug recently with the same symptoms as this (bug 301737), but I assigned it to the kernel. To be honest, the bug could be in usplash, the kernel or Xorg, but I'm not really sure. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a GDM bug. When I first looked at that bug, I tried downgrading the likely culprits to their Intrepid versions, but to no avail. -- [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 304136] Re: [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash
Just a note, usplash hasn't been updated since Intrepid (and it works for most people in Intrepid), which is why I assigned bug 301737 to the kernel -- [jaunty] corrupted console when using usplash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
