It happened to me too, but I couldn't reproduce it again after I started to use
the system.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2003-01-09 16:18:29 EST

I can reproduce it.  Should be fixed in firstboot-1.0.3-5.  QA, please verify.

Comment 3 Jay Turner 2003-01-10 12:28:15 EST

Looks like things are all taken care of in firstboot-1.0.3-5.

Comment 4 Chris Kloiber 2003-01-13 17:07:05 EST

Wendy Hung at IBM reports that she can still reproduce the problem with
firstboot-1.0.3-5.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2003-01-29 11:02:00 EST

I think the problem is that firstboot is sometimes exiting before the X server
has finished dying off.  Then when GDM tries to start it's X server, it appears
that VC7 is already in use, so it starts its server on VC8.

I've added a 1 second sleep that should give the X server time to die before
firstboot exits.  It's not the cleanest way to do it, but it should work.  See
if she can duplicate the problem with firstboot-1.0.4-6
