Public bug reported: kdm should be started later, after Networking is up and Remote Filesystems are also up.
Reason: in Enterprise environments a Desktop system is used by non-admin users. After showing up the logon screen an successful logon of a user must be possible. Nearly all Linux Entrerprise Desktops are using IMHO NIS+NFS. So an user Logon may show/usable after User Athorisation (NIS) and the User $HOME (normally served as NFS) is avaible. in /etc/init/kdm.conf should read as follow: ----- x----x----x---- [ ... ] start on ((filesystem and runlevel [!06] and local-filesystems and remote-filesystems and net-device-up and started dbus and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udev-fallback-graphics)) or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S) [...] This closes here also Bug #599812 (NIS Problem). BTW: It silences the Helpdesk lines dramatically ... ** Affects: kde-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kdm upstart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876399 Title: kdm upstart profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/876399/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
