Thanks for the hint. Very timely. I just learned that some things are best not kept on tmpfs, especially when doing frequent reboots <whistle/>
I sort of forced the issue just to prove that the mechanism works as advertised by doing chvt 1 stop gdm; sleep 1; rm -fv /var/log/Xorg.* # emulate a fresh boot... rm /var/run/gdm/firstserver.stamp rmmod nvidia lsmod | grep nv # verified empty modprobe nvidia-current & start gdm resulting X session is on vt7 _and_ has that specified on the commandline explicitely, showing that the patch was effective by preventing the firstserver.stamp to be created before successful launch of X Attached are the logs from this particular run -- 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
