Public bug reported: Hello,
This is a fresh installment of the Hardy Alpha5 (32 bits). Shutting down the GDM (graphical display manager, the X) takes a long time. I want to do some repairs of the file systems so I drop down to the "maintenance mode" which in Debian/Ubuntu is runlevel 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Debian_Linux 1) I switch to the text console by pressing CNTR + ALT + F1 (or any of F1...F6). 2) Login. 3) Drop to the maintenance mode (runlevel 1) $ sudo init 1 Sometimes I just shutdown the GDM service directly (depending on the maintenance task on hand). $ sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop # the service commands are: stop | start | restart | status --- Anyway, in both cases the GDM takes 30 seconds to shut off. Why? In Gutsy it just takes a eye-blink to shutdown the GDM / graphical GUI. Why this waste of time in Hardy? --- BTW: The "Recovery Menu" at init-1 level is really nice. It's a new thing in Hardy. Well done. To come back to the normal run level (resume normal operation), pick "Resume normal boot" from the menu, OR write # init 2 Levels 2, 3 or 5 are all normal operation modes. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardy alpha5: Shutting down GDM takes a long time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
