Okay, I've tested Seth's patch to /etc/init/gdm.conf from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg- server/+bug/532047/comments/91
I first changed my /etc/default/grub back to basics and ran update-grub (so, a state that would normally cause this bug to occur after boot). I did not notice a faster boot--in fact, the splash image itself seems slightly slower. I watched each of the 5 dots turn red, in succession. In the past, I think this happened in milliseconds, rather than ~2 seconds. After the splash screen, instead of a very brief flash, I saw that same old "GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" message on the screen for a full second or so. When I logged in, X was properly on tty7. So, this does appear to be a successful workaround for me as well. It also confirms the precise time in which, under bug conditions, X would get bounced from tty7 to tty1 or tty2--it's immediately after the splash for me. -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 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
