Public bug reported:
We support unattended installs of Ubuntu using the preseed method.
When testing Ubuntu 14.10 desktop we noticed that after an unattended install
/etc/init.d/rc would exit after /etc/init.d/lightdm start was called.
This is repeateable after a reboot, do an unattended install, and then modiy
/etc/init.d/rc
to log each startup script invocation to a file, you will see that lightdm is
the last script to run.
In particular /etc/init.d/rc.local does not run when switching to run level 2,
which is how we noticed it.
Adding a --background flag to the start-stop-daemon call in /etc/init.d/lightdm
works around this issue
and does not seem to hurt anything.
That may not be the correct fix, but it is a work-around.
It appears a signal is generated from lightdm that goes through the controlling
tty
and kills /etc/init.d/rc. --background stops that from happening.
I was unable to determine why it only happens after an unattended install.
There are other known issues with unattended install in 14.10 that may or may
not be related.
