go to runlevel 3 and kill X manually, then go back to runlevel 5 and see if the
problem persists.

Its possible that due to your upgrade path Upstart never came into control of
prefdm, so X wasn't being managed by upstart in the first place.

--CJD

Comment 2 george.b.milner 2008-05-01 13:53:27 UTC

Fresh install, not an upgrade.

Switched from 3 to 5 and back several times with the same result.

Edited the /etc/event.d/prefdm "stop on runlevel [!5]" to
"stop on runlevel 3".  This works, so it appears to be a parsing problem.

Did a "yum update" to get the latest upstart.  Unfortunately I cannot test it 
yet since I cannot get to run-level 5 any more. Something to do with
the new "2.6.25-8.fc9.x86_64" kernel and the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.08" 
drivers. Booting to run-level 3 and doing a startx still works.  Gota love 
those stateful run-levels.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:22:57 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Interesting, here (upgrade 8->9), going from 5 --> 3 kills X, however going back
from 3 --> 5 fails to start X

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-19 20:19:34 UTC

What desktop environment?

Comment 6 Andrew Clayton 2008-05-19 21:04:46 UTC

GNOME with GDM

Comment 7 Jon Stanley 2008-05-24 20:47:27 UTC

FWIW, I just tried this on a fresh install from a LiveCD.  I can do telinit 3,
and X dies. Do telinit 5, and it restarts.  Repeated this two or three times. 
Maybe a rpm -qV upstart initscripts' is in order?

Comment 8 Andrew Clayton 2008-05-24 22:25:15 UTC

$ rpm -qV upstart initscripts
S.5....T  c /etc/inittab
S.5....T  c /etc/sysctl.conf

Hmm, looks like the inittab from Fedora 9 was installed as inittab.rpmnew and
I'm still using the previous version. I'll try replacing it when I'm back in work.

Comment 9 Andrew Clayton 2008-05-27 09:44:43 UTC

Yeah, switching inittab's fixed it.

Comment 10 Jon Stanley 2008-05-27 17:08:02 UTC

Alright, I'll close this bug then.

Comment 11 george.b.milner 2008-05-29 20:19:43 UTC

Works now for me also.
The /etc/inittab was not the problem for me since I didn't upgrade from F8.
I just ran a full distro update and installed Nvidia's latest driver 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05.  Tested by moving between levels 5 and 3 
several times.
