Could this bug be related to a problem of having to log in twice on Kubuntu Lucid during start up? -- gdm does not start X unless remove tty-device-added KERNEL=tty7 from upstart gdm.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491162 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 491162] Re: gdm does not start X unless remove tty-device-added KERNEL=tty7 from upstart gdm.conf
No, Johan, don't think it is related to bug 495100. It's just that sometimes auto login works, most times it didn't. But I recall a warning that explicitly states that autologin does not work when I downloaded alpha1. So I did not file bug for it. But I always reset my locale so that Thunderbird3 can set my date format to dd/mm/ otherwise it uses mm/dd/. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the issue at hand. But Karmic/Hardy Kubuntu is not affected by it. Also commenting out # and tty-device-added KERNEL=tty7 does not help either. Thanks for looking into this. It is of course, not a show stopper and I may do a clean install for alpha3 if problem persists. By the way, my version is upgraded (continually) from alpha3 Karmic. Thought I better add a comment in case it may be important for the developers to be aware of. I do have 'production' partitions for final version Karmic and Hardy kde 3.5.10 (s-linked from same firefox, thunderbird, etc config files) so if it is not critical, I have no problem with it. I'm trying to help whatever way possible. Thanks again.

I'm using Kubuntu Lucid. Similarly affected. Have to start from CLI with 'startx'. Noted too /etc/init/kdm.conf also have line 'and tty-device- added KERNEL=tty7'.

I can understand why this is correct for the user, and in fact it's probably correct anyway. I've removed it as a partial fix, and solved the underlying dri/fb race as well - but this may still be a partial fix - some people may end up with a failing to start X. We'll fix that with the immiment move to devtmpfs (and a mountall upload will patch it in the meantime) ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Triaged = Fix Committed -- gdm does not start X unless remove tty-device-added KERNEL=tty7 from upstart gdm.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491162 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

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.29.1-0ubuntu4 --- gdm (2.29.1-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low * debian/patches/05_initial_server_on_vt7.patch: - Fix a bug in the patch: the return value of open() can be zero on success, because zero is a valid file descriptor! This probably never broke in the real world, because we always have standard input set to something, but it's worth fixing bugs when you find them ;-) * debian/patches/27_save_root_window.patch: - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT to save the root window pixmap in a property for other things to pick up. * debian/patches/28_plymouth_transition.patch: - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT, makes gdm check whether plymouth is running on startup; if it is, actively arranges for a smooth transition. Also handles getting plymouth out of the way in case the X server doesn't start. * debian/gdm.upstart: - Remove starting-dm event; the above patch means we handle stopping the splash screen gracefully by ourselves so don't need it. - Only look at /etc/X11/default-display-manager and /proc/cmdline when started automatically; always allow start gdm to work. - Use the PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY tag on the framebuffer or drm card devices to start the X server, still falling back on end of udev probing (we may have neither). Drop the tty part, we need both more and less than this.
