can you attach /etc/inittab and /etc/grub.conf what's the output of ls -l /etc/event.d ? Do you use gdm or kdm or something else ? I use gdm-2.24.0-8.fc10.x86_64.

tty1
There seems to be a potentially significant difference between tty1 and the others.

Modified tty1
Adding "start on started prefdm" to tty1 (as in the attached file) fixed the problem I was seeing. I don't know if there may have been some reason not to include that as tty1 is a bit special.
One change we're trying to make is for tty1 be the primary console for the user. So in runlevel 3 it should be a getty, and in runlevel 5 it should be GDM/X. I unfortunately screwed this change up, so only users with graphical bootup (The "spinfinity" animation) are getting that behavior, and everyone else (most users) are getting a broken behavior where tty1 isn't a getty or GDM/X in runlevel 5. Moving to plymouth. This should be fixed now. I tested this and it seems to work. ctrl alt f1 switches to X instead of ctrl alt f7. I did need to run mkinitrd after installing the plymouth update to see the change. *** Bug 466492 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
