Sebastien I beg to differ. Though sure this is not a critical bug, it certainly is one since it's well documented that new vts should be created sequentially, vt7, vt8, etc...
Also before I came to the startx "discovery" I've found quite a few complaints, some very old dating from hardy or 2005 (like this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- users/2005-November/056772.html) from a standard user). I'm sure many people quit complaining as they assume that vt8 anyway is allocated to usplash and have not been told you can redirect it. I can say myself this is a regression as it worked ok in Feisty/Gutsy. More importand yet, there are a number of indirect bugs probably related to this, like bug #172444 running since Gutsy Also please note that the behaviour occurs inside gdm but also from pure startx command. For the time being I've modified gdm to start at vt9. Startx then launches at vt7 and a second startx session launches at vt...10. Could you maybe give a hint of which file I should hack to get startx behaving as specified or is it hardcoded ? Bottom line, I would ask you to raise to medium so that I can see it fixed one day. It doesn't seem too hard to fix and the benefits may be greater than it appears. -- x display manager won't open session on next free vt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429616 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
