Hi Michael, Thanks for raising this and we shall investigate the possibility of deferring service startup if possible.
The infrastructure to achieve this is already available in Lucid onwards in the form of two sneakily "almost undocumented" events (they are mentioned in changelog entries only for Lucid+Maverick I believe): - login-session-start (emitted when gdm starts. Note: *NOT* emitted by kdm/lightdm yet...) - desktop-session-start (emitted when first user logs in) With Natty, we should be shipping with a new man page I've written listing "well-known" events (including those above): http://people.canonical.com/~jhunt/upstart/man/upstart-events.pdf Caveat: this page is beta and displays poorly via PDF. If you want to view it properly: wget http://people.canonical.com/~jhunt/upstart/man/upstart-events.7 tbl upstart-events.7 | nroff -man | less -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610519 Title: Delay some services until system has finished booting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
