This also happens on the live system, the first session seems to start on a VT which also has a getty on it (presumably VT1). At first startup, lightdm needs to ensure that it starts on a vt >= 7, i. e. it cannot rely on X.org's "grab the next free terminal" detection.
The alternative would be to not run a getty on vt1. I'm not 100% sure if oneiric's plymouth requires a different handling, but the above is what we did in natty and earlier for gdm: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- desktop/gdm/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/06_first_vt.patch ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) => Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Milestone: None => oneiric-alpha-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802271 Title: Characters sent to tty1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/802271/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
