Re: Loginprompt shows up before booting is finished in Ubuntu Feisty server

Alternatively, the console should be moved elsewhere so as not to interfere with the login prompt. IMO, this is a cosmetic bug and should upset you so much. Hit ENTER and you'll get login prompt. Real question is why should we wait all services to start, while they aren't important for login? I.e, there are some services which are 'starting' couple of minutes. Having login prompt ASAP is, IMHO, a good thing. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server

Login prompt debate (was long subject)

And what about the new users of Ubuntu Server who maybe have never even tried Linux before? This is a horrible flaw from their standpoint. They have no idea what is going on. To them it will just look like a bunch of garbage. And so also, maybe TTYs with no one logged in yet should not receive messages that would corrupt the login prompt. I would say that yes this is cosmetic, but it's a pretty ugly flaw from any product's stand point. You don't want the main interface that is being touched by the consumer to be broken or less that adequate. You want something robust and meaningful. To me (and probably many others), being presented with garbage after the login prompt if definitely a major flaw that should be fixed. However, I do realize that it is not a flaw in Upstart. Maybe the login prompt should wait for all other service/events that may write to the terminal... -- Kristian Hermansen -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
