Package: sysvinit Version: 2.87dsf-8 Severity: important hello,
the startpar patch 05_pri_kdm_gdm.patch added in sysvinit 2.87dsf-7 seems to introduce a new bug: the display manager (gdm on this machine) now is started before scripts that are marked as interactive. interactive scripts cause the boot process to hang forever if no input is submitted. display managers make the boot screen disappear, and many users never change back to tty1 afterwards. that way they don't recognize that user input is required in order to finish the boot process. in my situation, openvpn is started after gdm. openvpn requests a passphrase in order to unlock a private key. my mailserver (exim4) is started even after openvn. in case that i miss to change back to tty1 and enter the passphrase for openvpn, my mailserver is never started and that way my outgoing mail is not sent. greetings, jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64-resivo (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.87dsf-8 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.10.1-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.88-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libsepol1 2.0.39-1 SELinux library for manipulating b ii sysv-rc 2.87dsf-8 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.87dsf-8 System-V-like utilities sysvinit recommends no packages. sysvinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
