No, unless the DM itself exits with an error code, you won't get a getty. As I noted on the bug, I've already spoken to upstream GDM guys about this and they are keen to support this mode of operation. I suspect the KDM and others will likely agree to support this mode too in the future, but it won't be something we can use for mga2 sadly. > I still have the system available, so if you want me to verify with a ps, > or attach to it with gdb and get a backtrace, I can do that. Well all you really need to verify is that plymouthd process has exited.
