This other bug looks similar, could it be the same thing? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/380347 Although on this other bug the monocrome splash is never displayed. -- GDM won't start, hangs in upstart on emit starting-dm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 439316] Re: GDM won't start, hangs in upstart on emit starting-dm
initctl emit is supposed to block until the upstart jobs hung off that event complete, so this is more likely to be usplash's fault. Could you grep for usplash processes instead of gdm, and show us what's running there? I suspect that 'usplash_write QUIT' is blocking because nothing is listening on the usplash FIFO, in which case the only reliable fix for this is likely to be sorting out the usplash main loop so that we can just send it SIGTERM. ** Package changed: gdm (Ubuntu) = usplash (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- GDM won't start, hangs in upstart on emit starting-dm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Incidentally, does the usplash splash screen (a monochrome Ubuntu logo in the centre of a black screen) appear for you at any point during boot? ** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- GDM won't start, hangs in upstart on emit starting-dm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I do see what seems like a splash screen during boot, although it says kubuntu (i think is because i selected both ubuntu desktop and kubuntu desctop during installation -- btw, shouldn't that depend on the default DM?) it disappears almost immediately, and then we have the lockup i described. there isn't anything with splash in the name running when gdm is starting up. i attach output of pstree -ap, you may find it useful. ** Attachment added: output of pstree -ap while starting-dm signal is being sent http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32747771/pstree.txt -- GDM won't start, hangs in upstart on emit starting-dm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
