This bug also effects System76. We think this is a race condition as described in bug #644638.
The bug is reproducible 100% of the time on fast hardware (particularly nVidia with SSD's). If we cause gdm to pause for 5 seconds, oem-config will run; however, gdm then starts in the background on VT1 while oem- config is on VT7. We have tried a couple workarounds to no avail. 1.) pause GDM if /var/lib/oem-config/run exist. While this works to start oem-config, the user is dropped to an error message and a reboot is required to reach their login. 1.) exit GDM if /var/lib/oem-config/run exist. System doesn't boot. It seems that Upstart's "start on starting gdm" isn't precise enough to ensure oem-config starts before GDM on fast hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650703 Title: oem-config-prepare works, but oem-config fails to start after reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
