Description of problem: The problem is that if you use the tty terminal (ie boot runlevel 3) on logoff the tty hangs, a initctl start ttyn (where n is 1.) resurrects the tty. I've seen post about the problem but no resolution.

Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: logout and tty stays alive. Additional info:
I can't reproduce this at all. Can you run the command 'ps axl' in another session and see what it shows for the hanging session?
Created attachment 325256 [details] ps axl ; w; last ; commands note that this am, after booting the tty (alt+cntl_f2) return to prompt but the w command shows n+1 users after logout.

included both as attachment and in comment section. like i said that this morning, after rebooting the tty doesn't seem to hang, but the w stats are off.
I think the login not respawning is due to the problem explained in bug #450488
