Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdm
On my Lucid amd64 test system, KDM appears to start too early in the boot process. When it first comes up, it is impossible to use the keyboard or mouse for several seconds, and a message like this appears in the log: Error config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null) Additionally, another error appears in the log stating that /var/run/acpid.socket could not be found, and the ACPI connection failed. I have worked around the ACPI problem by modifying the KDM upstart script to wait until acpid is running before starting KDM, but it is already supposed to wait for HAL, so I am not quite sure what is going on here. I also wasn't quite sure whether I should file this bug in KDM or in Upstart, so sorry if I got it wrong. ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: kdm - On my Lucid amd64 test system, KDM appears to start to early in the boot - process.
