Bug#505270: Delay

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

2009-01-05 Thread Tim Richardson
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

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

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

v 03.13 shows the same behaviour as 0.3.12. That is, splashy doesn't work with the same error messages. Also, the /tmp/directfbrc hack fixes it just the same. I wonder why there was so much confidence that a fix was found. Have the developers managed to reproduce the bug yet on their own
