Are you *SURE* this is happening on F8? Rawhide has a very different code base that no longer reads /etc/inittab. 99%, but I'll receck and get back to you. So, on F9, if /etc/inittab is no longer read, why is it still there? It only confuses people like me who expect that it is still the way to change runlevel. Because I haven't done a build to remove it yet. :) Re FC8 - I must have been mistaken, or at least, I can't reproduce it today with latest updates. Sorry. So this is a F9 issue only. OK. You can solve rawhide by editing /etc/sysconfig/init, and changing the value of GRAPHICAL. This has been reverted to read inittab again. |
Description of problem: Changing to runlevel 3 in /etc/inittab: id:3:initdefault: no longer stops gdm startup on reboot. This is a major problem if trying to fix X11 problems (e.g. with the currently borked ati driver). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.60-1.x86_64 gdm-2.20.3-1.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit /etc/inittab, change runlevel from 5 to 3 2. reboot 3. Actual results: gdm still starts (presuming X11 setup is ok, which it is not on my system) Expected results: console login only Additional info: Same problem exists in Rawhide.
