[Bug 430494] Re: gdm upstart script fails to start gdm

2010-02-28 Thread Stefan Foerster
I have the same problem on my IBM Thinkpad T23. But it only happens with
_some_ kernels. For instance, I can repro the bevaviour with the new
2.6.33 kernel. 2.6.23.7 works (i.e. the boot process doesn't end with
the command prompt and I do not need to start gdm manually ), but only
with this additional line in rc.local:

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

I haven't seen this bevaviour with previous Ubuntu versions. But in
Karmic, both gdm and upstart have changed... as far as I am concerned
these changes have been introduced too quickly and need more testing
(not only because of this anomaly, there other additional ones, e.g. the
mount of my NFS network drive fails during boot).

I think the behavior Lupe mentioned is actually a feature. I noticed the
same thing while messing around with getting to gdm straight out of
single-user mode, which apparently is so fraught with danger that it's
forbidden (despite me telinit-ing to runlevel 2 first).

Doesn't seem like it. Exact same symptoms: 'start gdm' reports a pid,
but gdm does not come up. syslog shows that it tried to spawn too many
times. sudo gdm does work just fine.

It seems like this is still related to booting into recovery mode and
then continuing the boot.

An addition to my post above.
After I hit ctrl+alt+F7 (tty7) and gdm + x started, a system crash report 
appeared, informing of a serious kernel issue and suggesting a restart.
Today I reinstalled all the latest kernel packages (2.6.31-10).
Now the systems works as it should. Karmic opens: grub - xsplash-gdm-xsplash-x.

Same here.

Start GDM only tells me that GDM is already running. restart gdm
works and brings me to the login screen. But I only tried that once on
tty2 (got tty1 to lock up by running startx) as I only just ran into
the bug when booting the system a few minutes ago after yesterday's
updates.

2009-09-23 Thread Pete Goodall
@GRMM - I have seen the bug you are reporting and that is not the bug
I'm encountering.  The /var/log/gdm directory exists and is not mounted
any differently.

@Klaus - `sudo restart gdm` has no effect.  `sudo start gdm` returns a
PID, but does not start gdm.  Running `sudo status gdm` immediately
afterward says that gdm is stopped/waiting when it should return the
same PID as the start command.

The only way I can get gdm to start is to use `sudo /usr/sbin/gdm`.  I
can find no other way to make this work and I cannot figure out why.

2009-09-23 Thread Pete Goodall
@Klaus - Yes, afaik we have the same packages and I update daily and
read many of the change logs to see if any updates will help or give me
a clue as to where the problem may be.

I did have a thought.  Afaik with Upstart a service can have
dependencies, so we start gdm, but gdm depends (for example) so that
triggers the X server to start. Looking at the man pages I see that some
services may be started such that they can return success without
waiting for dependencies.  I wonder if one of the dependent upstart
processes is failing and therefore gdm is silently failing.

@Pete: That might certainly be the case. I haven't read much about upstart so 
far but I will have to deepen my research in that area.
But it's interesting to see two machines with the same patch-level and the same 
problem reacting so differently. Someone mentioned in the karmic-testing-forum 
he was able to start gdm just by switching to tty7. I haven't tried it as I 
don't want to reboot in a situation like this unless it's absolutely necessary

2009-09-22 Thread Pete Goodall
I already stated in two other comments that starting gdm manually works
just fine. :-)  In fact that is the only reason my netbook is still
usable.  Basically I am always left at a command prompt when I first
boot.  I login then run `sudo /usr/sbin/gdm` and I'm up and running.
While this is a blessing for now and allows me to continue working, I
cannot keep doing this.  I just want to find out why gdm no longer
starts.  Any troubleshooting steps you can give me would be much
appreciated.

[Bug 430494] Re: gdm upstart script fails to start gdm

2009-09-22 Thread GRMM
Hi there,

For anyone with this gdm problem, does start gdm work when you
eventually reach the command prompt? If so, the upstart is ok and your
gdm start point may be out of sequence compared to the pre-upstart
configuration.

I have had this problem on my eepc and have been following these
messages with interest. I have just identified a solution to my problem
that may help. I mount my /var/log.. etc as tmpfs to protect the solid
state drive and gdm refuses to start until certain directories are
recreated. I had a set of mkdir commands in rc.local that were correctly
sequenced before gdm moved to upstart.

However, gdm has now moved to upstart, it has probably altered the
sequence that my rc.local is called in to create the directories, hence
the gdm never actually appeared because the script ran before my
directories were created. When I reached the command prompt, start gdm
worked identifying that the sequence was wrong, not the upstart script.
I have created a new file /etc/init/rc_local.conf and filled it with
those mkdir commands and copied start tests from the /etc/init/gdm.conf.
In order to satisfy the correct sequencing, I also added a test start
on started rc_local to the gdm.conf and this cured the problem - boots
straight to gdm again.

My problem is probably a transient due to the dev state of karmic, because the 
initscripts are half managed by two separate programs. I am not a developer, 
but perhaps reading this might help you find the cause of your own issue. No 
problems on my other machines with basic init configurations.
Cheers
GR

I tried dmesg, but that doesn't show it.  I surmised that it was upstart
because gdm can be started manually as can X.  Let me know what other

I have similar behaviour from my gdm. It starts X, somehow thinks it
should be killed (or something dies?) right after it started and tries
again. It doesn't even start a greeter (like in Pete's case), although
upstart does claim gdm is actually started.

I've also attached my gdm logs, although I'm not sure whether its the
same issue or something related that should actually be reported
separately.

[Bug 430494] Re: gdm upstart script fails to start gdm

2009-09-17 Thread Sebastien Bacher
the title suggested it was an upstart script issue but it might not, can
you start xorg without using gdm but by running startx directly? do you
get any crash in /var/crash?

2009-09-16 Thread Scott James Remnant
Seb: You probably know better than me how to debug why gdm won't start

Pete has logs that make it look like Upstart started it ok, and them gdm
crashed?
