I was able to reproduce the symptoms that you describe above when I first arrived home. I verified that the X server was running on vt 7, then did a logout. The login screen started on vt 8. From then on, no matter what I did to stop and restart the server, it ended up on vt 8. There were some pending updates; so I applied updates, shutdown, and rebooted. But now I can no longer (at least for now) reproduce the problem. No matter how I shutdown and restart the server, it ends up on vt 7, which is of course the desired behavior. Does that mean it's fixed? Maybe. Then again, maybe not. I found the following bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348033 It was originally opened on January 14, 2006; so this bug is more than four years old. It has been opened and closed several times and is marked unreproducible! This is not a good sign. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
