Description Chris Williams 2006-06-15 13:23:00 UTC

Description of problem:
When going from gdm or a VT and changing to runlevel 3 we are sent to V8 where
the various service are shutdown. Since there is no getty running on VT8, in
order to get to a functional console you have to use Alt + Fn. To the layman it
appears as though the console is hung.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into gdm or a VT, execute 'init 3'
2. We are sent to VT8 where the various services are shutdown.
3. VT8 has no getty running on it so it appears hung. Alt + Fn is required to
get to a usable console.
  
Actual results:
We are sent to VT8 where no getty is running.

Expected results:
Return to VT 5 or what ever VT we executed the 'init 3' from. Or just sent to a
usable VT.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-01-17 19:38:46 UTC

there ended up being another component to this fix.  Namely, rhgb needed to
waitpid() on the x server before exiting and the X server needed to block on the
vt change before exiting (with a VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl)

I'll clone this bug for the X half.
