Public bug reported: New installation of Ubuntu Server 7.10, only system level change from install is to use the procedure in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 to remove nvidiafb and vesafb from the blacklist and regenerate initrd.
Steps to reproduce: Login to one of the virtual consoles. Do some stuff. Logout. Behaviour: When you logout, the console closes and you are left with a blinking cursor at the top of the screen. You can type but there isn't anything listening. You can restart the dead tty by logging into another or via SSH and restarting the relevant terminal - sudo initctl start tty(x) Once you have restarted it manually, the terminal will respawn after logout as expected. Expected behaviour: After logout, a new login prompt is presented. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- VTs running getty don't respawn after logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
