Breezy: usplash is not running anymore. I submitted the bug IIRC to usplash because it showed up only with splash boot. Actually, I just rebooted my Breezy partition, once with splash, once nosplash. The bug did not show up anymore. I have no idea what may have caused it, and why it now appears gone.
Therefore, I suggest it's fine to close this bugtracker item. Dapper: I've submitted a separate entry Bug #73569. The bug is caused by the vmware-player kernel module. /etc/init.d/vmware-player stop deallocvt 8 is now successfull and new users get to use console 8 afterwards. I can restart the vmware kernel support if need be in a X terminal, and close that anytime: vmnet-nat 5383 root 0u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1 (deleted) vmnet-nat 5383 root 1w CHR 1,3 5060 /dev/nullvmnet-nat 5383 root 2w CHR 1,3 5060 /dev/null /dev/pts/1 is now unusable, but there are plenty of ptys left.
