Adding the check to the upstart script seems to be a good idea. I've
created a patch for that. Ideally, the check whether GDM is default
display manager should be in the "start on" condition, but I don't know
how to do that.

Here's a debdiff for karmic-proposed that makes the failsave-x upstart task
abort if gdm isn't enabled.
Can you guys test it by editing your /etc/init/failsave-x.conf to look like
this:
start on stopped gdm EXIT_STATUS=[!0]
stop on runlevel [06]
script
[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manag
And the Failsave-X scripts are part of the xorg package and not xorg-
server.
** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu)

So the fix that I'm using, post #30, works because KDM starts faster
because it doesn't have to test drivers?

@Michael (and Urs):
Why don't we just add the check to the failsave-x upstart script? That
seems to be a better way to fix this IMHO, since that's the place where
the bug is.

@Selenia: Have you looked at the patch provided by Urs Fleisch? It is a
real fix, not a workaround, since it does not break failsafe-x when
using GDM.

Seems gdm and kdm have the required sanity checks to not start when not
chosen, but failsafe-x always assumes gdm is chosen, by what you are
saying. It could probably be patched in upstart but likely should really
be fixed in failsafe-x, if this is what is indeed happening. Maybe I'll
break it agai
@Selenia:
what happens:
k/ubuntu boots
upstart finds gdm.conf and tries to start gdm
upstart finds kdm.conf and tries to start kdm
upstart finds failsave-x.conf and tries to start failsave-x
gdm finds out that it's not the chosen WM and fails with exit status 1
kdm finds out that it's the chosen
I think another big question is one I try to suggest an answer to, but
am not 100% positive. Why is it tripping into bulletproof X to begin
with? Surely, Bulletproof or failsafe X should be fixed, but it
shouldn't be loading in the first place in this case. As to fixing a
broken X, I'm still used t
Ok, a comment how I understand this issue:
failsave-x only supports use cases where gdm is not DISABLED. Setups where gdm
is used or isn't installed aren't affected. So...
although I understand that the patch described above works, I get the feeling
this is fixed at the wrong place.

This bug affects me and I don't even use KDE, but do use the KDM login manager
over GDM because I like it.
A user called doctordruidphd on the Ubuntu forums has given a workaround that I
have tested to work on several systems I have that are affected.
cd /etc/init
sudo mv failsafe-x.conf failsaf
Thank you, Urs, for your patch, which works perfectly. Now, can we get
this patch into karmic-updates as soon as possible?
