Public bug reported: in /etc/rc2.d , kdm (S13kdm) starts before nividia-kernel (S20nvidia-kernel). With an automatic log in in kde (is it relevant ?), it produces weird things : when I click where text could be written (firefox address bar, oowriter, etc...), it prints an undiscountinued series of zeros, as if I was holding the zero key. Or the "mouse over" selection of an item in the menus is "blinking", so when I click one item, it activates another.
If I just restart kdm (or switch to a tty and then back to X session) this problem disappear (but come back at next boot). I find a workaround : move S13kdm to S40kdm (or any number greater than the 20 for nvidia-kernel I guess) and I've never seen this problem since. Am I the only one to have seen this problem and could someone produce a proper fix ? ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- wrong order in /etc/rc2.d between kdm and nvidia-kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/71901 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
