Re: [Bug 544139] Re: Active VT tracking can fail at startup
The theory in the description of this bug is that something is starting X at the time, and that ConsoleKit is racing with it. As such, you will see different results from the same ioctl from moment to moment. It's not obviously that GDM is calling ConsoleKit too early - ConsoleKit is started by D-Bus activation when GDM asks for it, no matter what stage it asks for it, and I assert that ConsoleKit ought to be able to back off for a while and cope even if X is starting at the time. I'll construct a simpler test program and see what I got wrong in my patch. The reason you're seeing odd sequences of messages is that there are multiple threads running in parallel. -- Active VT tracking can fail at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 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

Could you try the package from my PPA? The UserManager stuff in gdm is one likely cause I noticed, but I didn't put in the extensive effort to check whether it's the only one. -- Active VT tracking can fail at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 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

I think maybe the debug I enabled made startup of consolekit slow enough
that it doesn't happen for me anymore. Because I can't reproduce. :-)
Can I suggest adding some debug to consolekit in the if if (errno ==
EINVAL data-retries++ 10) {, so we can see if we trigger it ?
You should still get Error waiting for native console 1 activation:
Invalid argument etc. with my patch. Furthermore, if you arrange for
console-kit-daemon to be run with --debug, then you should get
VT_WAITACTIVE for vt 1 and VT_WAITACTIVE for vt 1 returned
something around any calls to that ioctl, whether successful or not,
which should be enough to see what's going on.
Still, I've added a few more bits of debug to the version of my patch
that I'll send upstream if this works out.

FYI: My computer hasn't suffered the symptoms described in this bug report for over 2 months, so for my part this bug is fixed. -- Active VT tracking can fail at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 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
