Martin, As I said before, it's extremely erratic and difficult to reproduce. The contents in /var/run/console looked correct before, compared to what's on my other functional Ubuntu boxes, and when it's recreated on reboot it's basically recreated identically as before, but somehow it works when recreated but not before.
I think it is a libpam-foreground problem, too, but this is so frustratingly difficult to reproduce! -- security policy error with hald after latest updates https://launchpad.net/bugs/58165 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
