I followed the Steve Langasek's instructions: 1) purge and install the plymouth package 2) checked the /etc/init/ folder and found a few new plymouth related files that had not been there before 3) restarted PC and faced the same double loging problem 4) then executed: sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf.disabled 5) restarted PC and the workaround works since then = single login
But a questions stays: Why there were not the plymouth related files before? In Synaptic the package was marked as installed, but the files were missing. I just installed Alpha 3 64-bit and then updated it several times. I made no operations via terminal that could remove the files. So it must have been some installation / update bug ... -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 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
