Description Michael Young 2006-10-05 14:46:07 UTC

Description of problem:
AFter updating initscripts to 8.44-1 startx hangs (there is an X cursor on the
screen but nothing more).
The problem seems to be within /etc/profile.d/lang.sh (called from xinitrc)
which calls stty iutf8, which just hangs.
Downgrading to 8.43-1 fixes the problem.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-06 18:12:58 UTC

Fixed in 8.45-1.

Comment 2 Herbert Carl Meyer 2006-10-10 13:53:23 UTC

I am still getting this after upgrading to initscripts 8.45-1. I can fix it by
downgrading SysVinit to 2.86-11. Current SysVinit is 2.86-13, and I had this
problem with SysVinit 2.86-12 as well.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-10 15:14:30 UTC

I'm not sure how SysVinit could have any affect on this. Can you get a process
tree from when startx hangs?

Comment 4 Herbert Carl Meyer 2006-10-12 09:56:23 UTC

Sure, point me at some instructions.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-12 15:42:38 UTC

Switch to a virtual terminal, log in as root, 'ps axf'.

Comment 6 Herbert Carl Meyer 2006-10-13 13:46:08 UTC

this morning i updated to SysVinit 2.86-13, initscripts 8.45.3-1, bug
reappeared. When i reverted to SysVinit 2.86-11, disappeared.

ps axf output:
