Public bug reported:
Line 49 of /etc/init.d/gdm checks for 'text' in kernel command line, and if
present, does not start the Display Manager. However, the script does
grep -qs text /proc/cmdline
which will match anything on the kernel command line that includes 'text'
(including a UUID, kernel image or initrd filename or any other kernel
parameter including the string 'text'. This is probably not what is expected.
I suggest replacing line 49 to read as follows instead:
if grep -qsw text /proc/cmdline; then
This will match 'text' only as a separate word, and is probably what was
intended.
