Description of problem: This is about kdm. Doesn't have a BZ entry. choose console login. Works fine. But, even after exiting shell, where is X? Tried Alt-F1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdm-4.3.3-7.fc12.1.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
It's a bug in upstart causing this, bug #470004 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 470004 ***
Actually, this looks more related to bug 475890 to me.
Does changing /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc as suggested in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=374909 fix your issue?
No, that didn't seem to fix it. After that change, I noticed vt1 was no longer X, X was on 7 IIRC. After login to console, and then exit shell, I couldn't find the X server on any vt I tried. Nothing very informative in /var/log/messages.
It really is the the upstart bug here.
ok, upststart is fixed and so is this, for the most part (for me using f13/kde-4.5.2), Minor problem remains: * Console login tries vt1, which is empty (is what X normally uses) (I'm not going to worry too much about this atm, probably requires more plymouth-related love/config) Switching to v2 (or 3 or 4 or whatever), can login, logout, then X starts back up in ~10 seconds.
ok, dropping tty1 from ConsoleTTYs= in kdmrc makes the cosmetic issue go away, though I'm not scared of other side-effects. I'll test more.
