Hello Niccolo, Launchpad is not a forum, but a platform to track and solve bugs.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7
@Niccolo Welcome. I don't think this old bug report is a way to get this problem solved as it is already closed. Since you have already looked for a current bug report and can't find one I'd suggest you file a new one yourself. Please don't be shy. I'd suggest you use the approach at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting since `ubuntu-bug xorg` will collect a lot of pertinent information automatically. That page has lots of useful advice. WRT your question about viewing your xorg log files yourself, I would would suggest starting gedit and navigate to /var/log/ and the files you want to examine. askubuntu.com is great for getting answers to this kind of question, by the way. Here on Launchpad is the best place to get bugs worked on. @Jorge The message about the quit signal is just like the ones that occurred with this sort of bug. It might be good to see if there is an error in the still older xorg log. @Both I think closed bugs don't appear on developers' lists so a new bug report is much better, as Steve Langasek suggested to someone above. In addition gdm was involved in this old bug but now lightdm is used for the sign on screen so this really is a brand new bug even though there are probably events in common and the symptoms are the same. If you are both having the same problem on Precise perhaps one of you can file the bug and the other can mark it as affecting him as well . You both should attach the logs produced by `ubuntu-bug xorg` to help move the bug toward triaging.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7
@Krug: so that sums up all the symptoms. Do you ever see the scrolllock light come on / flash just before the crash is imminent? It seems like no risk of crash exists for a while since boot, and then at a certain point (perhaps due to some very slow upstart/init job completing or giving up), something is changed (with me, (sometimes?) resulting in a visual change of the scrollock light) and results in an 'armed' vt2 session, meaning that pressing enter any time from that point in time is certain to crash the X session. Perhaps I could also try to crash it with some of the named alternative 'trigger' keys, but I haven't (consciously) tried. Most of the time, the crash would hit me before I realized what was going on, being a keyboard person and living mainly in terminal windows. I'll re-read that bug (I must admit I have been skipping some of your recent comments because the raw stream of thoughts was getting a bit confusing to my mind) :) -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@Krug: PS. do you have a founded opinion on my workaround/fix in comment #91 ? My systems seems a bit slower to the desktop while booting, but I haven't had the problem manifest itself. I might start explicitely logging the virtual terminals for any X sessions somehow so I can be sure that I'm actually on vt7 now). To me the approach is a bit 'iffy' because I'd really think that X should work without problems on a vt2 (e.g. when people have disabled vt2-vt6 for many plausible reasons). Now, if this is really just a race condition somewhere, my approach could be a good starting point (just synchronize stuff). But perhaps, the root cause is more a false assumption about virtual terminal allocation numbers. vt7 has been grafted in collective linux memory over the last decade(s?)... -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7
@Seth: Please join us over at bug #625239. I'd love to see one of your failing Xorg.0.logs and a plymouth-debug.log if you could manage it in order to compare them to those contributed by Jamie and Dino. In Dino's case we can see that gdm is trying to follow plymouth to plymouth's tty (which should be tty7), but there is confusion somewhere. You may also want to take a look at closed karmic bug #396226. It explains why starting on the same tty as getty is bad news, though I think the reason is that the restart of getty sets the ISIG flag on the shared terminal rather than an issue of control. When I set this flag manually on tty7 from another terminal I can go back to tty7, press enter, and X gives this crash. I think I remember that you could tell whether the session is primed by looking at the stty from another terminal with sudo stty --file /dev/stty1 --all , but the scroll- lock sounds much better. Unfortunately I only have caps lock and num lock lights. I think your suggestion in 91 is interesting, but I guess there is the speed issue, and there is the issue that if someone ever decides only to run 5 tty's it won't be very obvious why gdm isn't starting. Seems like a good work-around to me, though, until this is fixed. -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7
@Steve Langasek: To me, your response seems a bit harsh, as it appears (to me) to imply that my judgement must be bad, and I must be jumping to conclusions. I venture, you might be the one jumping to conclusions - or at least using a definition of the word 'fixed' that is incompatible with mine :) I have been waiting with filing this for weeks, months now, diligently reading _every single_ word in this, and many related bugs, not only on launchpad but also, e.g. on Arch linux. Forgive me if after carefully observing the behaviour again and again I have concluded that _indeed_ this is my problem. I don't know how the supposedly released fix doesn't help me, but I'm totally right (from a user perspective) that this _is_ the same bug in behaviour, symptoms, side-phenomena and probable causes. As far as I can tell this bug was already against Lucid, so to me it just appears the fix doesn't cover all cases. I _could_ of course open a duplicate of this bug... ? I don't understand. Call me silly if you wish. For the record, I just visited here because it happened again. This time, I caught the scroll lock coming on all by itself in the corner of my eye, at which moment I froze to see whether the crash would happen by itself. It didn't. I then changed vt's to vt1 to investigate. It turned out I had 3 X servers running (:1, :2 and :3; don't know what the third one is around for). The first session (mine) was on vt2 (the apparent root cause). The other two were on vt8 and vt9, as expected. The vt8 and vt9 had '-isig', where vt2 had 'isig' (in stty -F output). Needless to say, switching back to my X session (the one on vt2) and pressing other keys to complete the command, everything was fine. Just pressing the Enter key crashed the X server. Note that the other X servers kept on running happily. After logging in again, my session is now on an X server in vt10 (so we have :2 (vt8), :3 (vt9) and :1 (vt10) Perhaps of interest: I have what you might call a very fast booting system: dual SSD in lvm2 stripes, everything nicely block aligned for the SSDs. My regular boot time used to be around 6 seconds (measured in bootchart). It is now in the 8-9s range. Some of the time, boot time will be slightly longer (up to 20s) and perhaps that is when the symptoms don't occur. Other specs: Q9550, 8Gb RAM (you can see where all his going to end up being quick...) i386-generic-pae and nvidia-current Also note, that I have on all occasions performed (many) other keyboard operations before observing the crash: I practically _live_ in shell windows (being a dev + sysadmin addicted to ssh,screen,vim). This is particularly apparent from the fact that in the just-documented occasion, my wife had actually 'switched user' to a second X session, and the problem only manifested itself after switching back to my own session, unlocking the screen, and entering a few commands in the terminal window.

Sorry if this is not the right bug to comment on, but I spent hours yesterday just trying to figure out where I should be commenting. I just commented on bug #529230 (comments 21 and 22) because that seems the best fit, but it's listed as a duplicate of this bug. This bug's description does not fit my issue as closely, and the temporary workaround does not help me. I did, however, see a very slight difference in behavior relating to the suggested workaround, as commented here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/529230/comments/22 I would very much appreciate it if someone could just help point me in the right direction.

For older video chipsets and drivers (e.g. intel i815) that *do not* support KMS plymouth falls back to using a text console (using the text plugin). It attaches to tty7 and outputs Linux terminfo control codes to draw a colour progress-bar at the bottom of the display. There is an unfortunate interaction between plymouth and X. X also uses tty7. When the X/GDM log-in screen appears for the first time plymouth is still running. A script triggers a quit message to the plymouth daemon. It seems that plymouth is waiting for either the 2 key or Enter key to be pressed, whereupon a SIGQUIT (signal 3) is sent to tty7. This causes both plymouth *and* X to terminate. So, if a password contains 2 or the user logs in by pressing Enter after typing their password, the user experience is that X 'crashes' (however, gdb reveals that X receives SIGQUIT). Some stray plymouth control codes can be witnessed on tty7 if X is stopped and tty7 console is on-screen.

@Claudio: does X crash as described in this bug, or does plymouth simply drop you to VT1 (with the desktop accessible by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7) without any crashing on pressing 2 or Enter?

Status in X.Org X server: Invalid Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: plymouth Lucid adopted the Plymouth graphical splash service that uses the Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) facilities to provide a flicker-free graphical splash during start-up. For older video chipsets and drivers (e.g. intel i815) that *do not* support KMS plymouth falls back to using a text console (using the text plugin). It attaches to tty7 and outputs Linux terminfo control codes to draw a colour progress-bar at the bottom of the display. There is an unfortunate interaction between plymouth and X. X also uses tty7. When the X/GDM log-in screen appears for the first time plymouth is still running. A script triggers a quit message to the plymouth daemon. It seems that plymouth is waiting for either the 2 key or Enter key to be pressed, whereupon a SIGQUIT (signal 3) is sent to tty7. This causes both plymouth *and* X to terminate. So, if a password contains 2 or the user logs in by pressing Enter after typing their password, the user experience is that X 'crashes' (however, gdb reveals that X receives SIGQUIT). Some stray plymouth control codes can be witnessed on tty7 if X is stopped and tty7 console is on-screen. Upstart (/sbin/init) then restarts gdm (which launches X) and the second session performs correctly. *** A temporary workaround is to disable the plymouth-splash upstart job *** sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf.disabled To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/532047/+subscribe -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.0~-13 --- plymouth (0.8.0~-13) lucid; urgency=low [ Steve Langasek ] * Don't attach /proc/cmdline to apport reports, this is already in the standard info that gets collected... [ Alberto Milone ] * ubuntu_logo theme: - New logo from Otto Greenslade. - Switch off dots starting from the ones on the left instead of switching them off all at once. [ Scott James Remnant ] * Move the Ubuntu logo up as discussed with Otto, this makes the mouse cursor appear between the logo and dots and solves the optical illusion of the logo being too low. LP: #535014. * Don't include message about disk checks, which can come from mountall. * Drop the rc script splash functions, we don't want the SysV-rc compat stuff messing around with the splash screen - this can be entirely managed by Upstart now. LP: #528787, #537262. * Plymouth Fix Mega Patch: - This hasn't yet been broken up into enough bits to send upstream, and doesn't *quite* address all the issues yet, but it's a major step. - Rewrite the VT handling, rather than abusing /dev/tty0 keep all VT operations on the actual VT (tty7), this avoids issues where we set the graphics mode of the wrong VT or put the wrong VT into VT_PROCESS mode. LP: #520460, #522598, #526321, #533135 - Don't attempt VT switch when using non-VT consoles. - Make VT mandatory for renderer plugins, so we fallback gracefully to text when the console is not a VT. LP: #516825, #527083. - Restore VT when finished displaying the splash unless plymouth quit is called with --retain-splash. LP: #506297. - Activate VT from text and details plugins, rather than haphardly in the main code, this means the textual boot is also on VT7. LP: #518352, #520122. - Add a --has-active-vt command that can let gdm inquire whether it should reuse Plymouth's VT; fixes the issue where Plymouth has no visible splash screen and X ends up on VT1. LP: #519641, #533572. - Don't open terminal device in X11, fixes the issue where X will crash when debugging plugins using the X11 renderer. - Add --tty option to plymouthd for debugging when X is running and thus using an alternate VT. - Improve deactivate command so that the terminal is no longer watched for keyboard input, session is closed, etc. LP: #528787, #531650. - Ignore mode changes while deactivated, otherwise we can end up resetting the VT back into text mode while X is starting up. LP: #523788, #502509. - Fix races with simultaneous quit and deactivate commands, or multiples of those commands. - Ignore --show-splash, --hide-splash, etc. commands while deactivated. - Add reactivate command for testing purposes. - Don't scan out drm buffer contents to fbcon when not called with quit --retain-splash. LP: #527180. - Avoid resetting the terminal to unbuffered mode on every write, this results in setting X's VT into raw mode and results in the X server crashing on key presses. LP: #532047, #534861, #519460, #520593, #522974, #525393 * I'm aware that if you see the TEXT plugin, it's possible for Enter to still crash the X server for some people. I will be opening a new bug for this, and would appreciate details from people affected. * If you have issues with Enter crashing the X server, and you see a GRAPHICAL plugin, check that gdm is up to date - if it is, please file new bugs. * I'm also aware of an issue where after boot, rather than seeing an X server, you see the ordinary login: getty screen. Pressing Alt+F7 should take you to X. I will be opening a new bug for this, and would appreciate details from people affected. * Don't send fsck progress updates to the boot-duration file. * Make all the dots orange just before starting the X server. * Cute text-version of the splash screen. - Added basic support for fsck notification. - Added support for showing keys information on separate lines. -- Scott James Remnant sc...@ubuntu.com Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:02:54 + ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Fix Released -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The workaround didn't worked for me. It fixes the problem only a few seconds after the system startup, when i can press 2 or enter as often as i want.

I believe it may be related to the most recent kernel (2.6.32-16), as before I updated to this kernel, I never experienced this issue, but afterwards, I will login from GDM only to have it reset and I have to enter my password again.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7
Madde, Matteo: I've had both the login problem, and the later Enter or 2 problem. The difficulty is the keyboard scancodes, so different keyboards can have different triggers if the keyboards have different scancode assignments. Whenever it happens later, it seems that my crashed X session had been on tty1 (VT1) rather than on tty7 (VT7) or higher. I suspect this symptom might involve the getty program (and maybe plymouth as well). If your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old file is still around from the crash I wonder if you could check the beginning of the file to see on what VT X had started (and save it somewhere for possible posting later)? I've had trouble reproducing the VT1/late crash problem since uninstalling and reinstalling plymouth, but as I typed this reply the first time a few minutes ago X crashed when I typed 2. (Whew!). I checked my session and it had started on tty1 and thus had been vulnerable to whatever getty had been doing to tty1. There are reports on the situation with late (after the problem key had previously been pressed in an X session--login or after) in LP: #529230. In both my case, and the case of the original reporter, X had started on tty1 (VT1). I don't know about the new case. I wonder if this late crash problem is related to the situation closed for karmic in LP: #396226. -- Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I have the same issue. According to the Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old files, my first X session was running on VT1 and my second one on VT7.

The VT7 and VT8 I reported earlier were for my desktop (fresh 64-bit install, binary nvidia driver, text-mode plymouth). My laptop (fresh 32-bit install, Intel 945GM, graphical-mode plymouth) also has VT7 for the crashy session and VT8 for the working one according to the log files.

I followed the Steve Langasek's instructions: 1) purge and install the plymouth package 2) checked the /etc/init/ folder and found a few new plymouth related files that had not been there before 3) restarted PC and faced the same double loging problem 4) then executed: sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf.disabled 5) restarted PC and the workaround works since then = single login But a questions stays: Why there were not the plymouth related files before?
