** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xorg - After the system boots and the plymouth screen disappears and X starts - up, if I press the enter key (occurs only with the enter key) X shuts - down and starts again in around 2 seconds. In the session of X that - comes up after this, the problem doesn't occur. + After the system boots and the plymouth screen disappears and X starts up on tty1 or tty2, if I press the enter key in a few minutes X shuts down and starts again. In the session of X that comes up after this, the problem doesn't occur. - UPDATE: Problem seems to be affecting plymouth and is a lot similar to - bug #532047, however in this case GRAPHICAL plugin is affected. The - workaround on that bug works, and pressing enter crashes both X and - Plymouth, forcing X to start on tty8 . + The problem happens when gdm starts X and X crashes silently. gdm + restarts X but X starts on tty1(2) as getty hasn't yet started and it + isn't the first X start. When getty does start on tty1 it eventually + interferes with X by setting ISIG on the tty. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 - Package: xorg 1:7.5+6ubuntu3 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-19.26-generic 2.6.35.3 - Uname: Linux 2.6.35-19-generic i686 - Architecture: i386 - CheckboxSubmission: 5e476a0872a6160d4830741693075266 - CheckboxSystem: 1e11ce1f0b739629ea3e4cbfa4fff3ab - DRM.card0.LVDS.1: - status: connected - enabled: enabled - dpms: On - modes: 1280x800 1280x720 1152x768 1024x768 800x600 848x480 720x480 640x480 - edid-base64: AP///////wBMozM2AAAAAAAPAQOAIRV4Cof1lFdPjCcnUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB7hoAgFAgEDAQMBMAS88QAAAZAAAADwAAAAAAAAAAACOHAmQCAAAA/gBTQU1TVU5HCiAgICAgAAAA/gBMVE4xNTRYMy1MMDYKAHA= - DRM.card0.VGA.1: - status: disconnected - enabled: disabled - dpms: On - modes: - edid-base64: - Date: Fri Aug 27 13:39:05 2010 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) - MachineType: TOSHIBA TECRA A7 - PccardctlIdent: - Socket 0: - no product info available - PccardctlStatus: - Socket 0: - no card - ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-19-generic root=UUID=ba586c06-64e7-4734-a35f-5320ea8063a4 ro quiet splash - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: xorg - dmi.bios.date: 08/30/2006 - dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD - dmi.bios.version: 2.00 - dmi.board.name: MPAD-MSAE Customer Reference Boards - dmi.board.vendor: Intel Corporation - dmi.board.version: Not Applicable - dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag - dmi.chassis.type: 1 - dmi.chassis.vendor: No Enclosure - dmi.chassis.version: N/A - dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvr2.00:bd08/30/2006:svnTOSHIBA:pnTECRAA7:pvrPTA71E-09401CAR:rvnIntelCorporation:rnMPAD-MSAECustomerReferenceBoards:rvrNotApplicable:cvnNoEnclosure:ct1:cvrN/A: - dmi.product.name: TECRA A7 - dmi.product.version: PTA71E-09401CAR - dmi.sys.vendor: TOSHIBA - glxinfo: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory - system: - distro: Ubuntu - codename: maverick - architecture: i686 - kernel: 2.6.35-19-generic + In the cases discussed here, the computer systems are very fast and gdm + is starting X before the nvidia kernel module is ready to run. + + NOTE WELL--the original reporter had the problem that his system was starting on tty7 and others were discussing tty1 starts here as well.
