The suggested solution (adding sleep 1 command to /etc/init.d/gdm.conf) solves this bug for me.
For me the bug was introducted with kernel 2.6.35.3. It prevented GDM from showing the login screen and any console. I'm using a "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" and the i915-module. -- radeon graphics mode and console does not start - xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
