That would be about right. Is this issue still relevant for Wheezy? I suspect it isn’t and advise the RN wizard to close it (I may do so myself next time I come across this bug report unless more information is provided).

When the user logs out, the connection is broken. Would stopping gdm have the effect of logging out the user? If so, gdm should be stopped only after all the packages have been downloaded, and before they start to be installed. Is there a good moment for the user to detect this moment? -- hendrik k -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This makes sense. (If you do recommend gdm be stopped I suggest, FWIW, that you move all the stuff about using Alt-Fn to switch to the console, along with my patch, to section 5. This has no doubt occurred to you. :) FYI, you may wish to check for consistently as to which console is used for the upgrade. While grepping the release notes when making this patch I noticed, but did not look into, a reference to using VT2 but other parts of the document talk about pressing Alt-F1. grep VT2 -r /tmp/release-notes/release-notes/en/ Karl Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.

Thank you for your patch we will consider it for the Release Notes. As for this issue, since the move from text console to gdm is quite common (and confuses users) we are consider asking the users, when upgrading, to stop the gdm service so that there is no switch back and forth. We still have to consider the best approach to this issue, however. Best regards Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#612250: release-notes: Loss of keyboard and mouse may occur during upgrade
Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello, During upgrade the text console was lost and replaced with a gdm login screen. The second time this occurred neither the keyboard or mouse would respond. Unplugging and replugging each of these USB devices resovled the problem. The attached patch tells the user how to recover. USB is repeated twice because, technically, PS2 keyboards should not be hotplugged and, although I have not tested this, I do not believe that doing so would change anything.
