Problem should be fixed by this commit, not sure if it was backported to ubuntu/natty. commit 88c4622b594a1725d0cee86bc82ad640d241c520 Author: Aaron Plattner Date: Mon Apr 18 08:23:48 2011 -0700 linux: Retry VT ioctls while errno == EINTR When the smart scheduler is enabled, the VT ioctls (particularly VT_WAITACTIVE) can be interrupted by the smart scheduler's SIGALRMs. Previously, this caused the server to immediately continue on to ScreenInit, almost certainly causing a crash or failure because the X server that owned the VT hadn't finished cleaning up. As of commit 7ee965a300c9eddcc1acacf9414cfe3e589222a8, it causes a FatalError instead. Retrying the ioctl as long as it fails with errno == EINTR fixes the problem and allows server regenerations to trigger VT switches that actually succeed.

@David: Read my comment #49. And also the linked Freedesktop bug. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29975 I read the relevant Xorg-server code and the same bug is still there and not fixed. There may be various possible reasons why VT_ACTIVATE succeeds but VT_WAITACTIVE will wait forever because in between, some other process has grabbed it. A clean solution would be to do lock somehow the VT switching. I have read that this is possible, though very complicated and very messy. Another possible fix/workaround would be do do the VT_ACTIVE in a endless loop in a separate thread and halt when either the VT_WAITACTIVE returns or when one of them return an error.

In reply to #32: I don't think this is exactly the same as the RedHat bug report by Linus Torvalds, which was about the rhgb-client program specifically. The symptom (VT_WAITACTIVE failing) was the same, and the investigations might help with the bug here, but it's not the same bug (the rhgb one got fixed).

I've done a few extra reboots after this, KDM is now always starting. However, the KUbuntu logo with five dots, which is shown before that, was corrupted on each boot. The colors were quite strange in some regions and the letters "KUbuntu" are surrounded by many dense green dots. Not sure whether it is related to this bug, but it suspicious that it started to happen with the same linux kernel. I've never seen such things before.

I have just installed the new linux-image-2.6.32-25 from Ubuntu repositories, and faced this problem too. The booting stops just before KDM screen should appear after the KUbuntu logo Xorg.0.log contained the same lines: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call I could not boot my computer three times concequently, including the "failsafeX" mode. I could load it only without any graphical login manager, and used this opportunity to reinstall back 2.6.32-24 kernel. However, after that the 2.6.32-25 kernel is booting normally.

[Bug 441653] Re: radeon graphics mode and console does not start - xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
I have had a similar behavior here. I am using the nvidia driver. I don't really like any of the suggested workarounds here. They are all hacks that don't really fix the bug itself. This is the relevant code: if (ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_ACTIVATE, xf86Info.vtno) < 0) FatalError("xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); if (ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_WAITACTIVE, xf86Info.vtno) < 0) FatalError("xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: %s\n", strerror(errno)); What I think what happens is what Linus has also figured out a while ago (in a similar situation): "I have chased it down, and what happens is that the new X server is trying to switch to its newly allocated virtual console, but the old X server that was started by rhgb is exiting at the same time, and apparently depending on pure luck (or lack of it), the old X server will switch back to the original VT (VT#0) JUST AFTER the new X server has tried to switch to its new VT! The end result is that when the new X server waits for that switch to take effect, it will never happen (since we did actually switch to it, but then the old X server switched back!), and it will wait forever - or rather, it will wait until a timeout signal comes in, and at that point it will exit with the above error!" rhgb is the Red Hat Graphical Boot. If that is the same scenario which is happening here, there are actually multiple bugs: * Some process (Ubuntus graphical boot? another XServer spawned by KDM?) tries to activate a different VT just at the same time. Why does it do that? It should not do that. * Xorg should not hang in such a case. I filled in a bug about that problem in Xorg here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29975 You will find further references and details about the problem on that report. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #29975 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29975 -- radeon graphics mode and console does not start - xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The suggested solution (adding sleep 1 command to /etc/init.d/gdm.conf) solves this bug for me. For me the bug was introducted with kernel 2.6.35.3.
