This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.29.1-0ubuntu4 --------------- gdm (2.29.1-0ubuntu4) lucid; urgency=low
* debian/patches/05_initial_server_on_vt7.patch: - Fix a bug in the patch: the return value of open() can be zero on success, because zero is a valid file descriptor! This probably never broke in the real world, because we always have standard input set to something, but it's worth fixing bugs when you find them ;-) * debian/patches/27_save_root_window.patch: - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT to save the root window pixmap in a property for other things to pick up. * debian/patches/28_plymouth_transition.patch: - Patch taken from the plymouth-integration branch of Upstream GIT, makes gdm check whether plymouth is running on startup; if it is, actively arranges for a smooth transition. Also handles getting plymouth out of the way in case the X server doesn't start. * debian/gdm.upstart: - Remove "starting-dm" event; the above patch means we handle stopping the splash screen gracefully by ourselves so don't need it. - Only look at /etc/X11/default-display-manager and /proc/cmdline when started automatically; always allow "start gdm" to work. - Use the PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY tag on the framebuffer or drm card devices to start the X server, still falling back on end of udev probing (we may have neither). Drop the tty part, we need both more and less than this.
