Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
Currently gdm starts regardless of the status of acpid. When X starts it looks for /var/run/acpid.socket and emits a warning in X.org.log when it is not found: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) Adding "and started acpid" to the start on stanza causes gdm to wait until acpid is finished starting. This also eliminates the warning in X.org.log. I have tested this solution and found it to work on my ACPI aware system. A working patch is attached which resolves the problem. I am currently running Natty amd64. This may resolve bug #585790 also. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786175 Title: gdm Upstart init configuration missing job start on event -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
