Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
When splashy is used with file-rc[1], I observe the following behavior:
- splashy shows the splash screen
- file-rc starts up services
- eventually, kdm is started
- the splash screen remains shown
- we now have a kdm process and a splashy process (with three children)
- the splash screen remains shown
- after some time, the splashy process vanishes
- the splash screen remains shown
which results in a system that cannot be logged in to via the console.
Restarting kdm seems to do the trick, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't (so
the splash screen also captures the keyboard).
The observations above were done via ssh.
I know that the real fault is with file-rc here, but shouldn't splashy
remove itself upon timeout? In this case, this would at least
eventually result in a useable system.
Greetings
Marc
