Here's a funny thing: if the system boots with initramfs (we only fixed U-Boot for this in November for all boards), oem-config and GDM cooperate and run fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Okay our investigation showed that, empirically, once upstart has started a job (like gdm), no other job can stop it, even if it is (starts on) for that job. Actually this means that a system with gdm, kdm etc. installed they will all fight for a VT and the first one will get it, however this is a

Just checked out plugininstaller.py line 761 at the crash: it's os.symlink to link /initrd.img to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.14-efikamx I would note that the initrd.img is NOT massaged into a uImage. The partition /boot is on is vfat, so no symlinks, so an obvious crash, no? Rob is Beagle xM still

Hi Matt, Yeah, on the omap's we are pretty much stuck with booting off FAT... I'm not sure how Canonical does their images. But with the images I push out, I bypass the symlink problem by leaving /boot/* on the ext* partition, and mounting the fat as /boot/uboot/*... Then let some other

Yergh, turns out that upstart hack doesn't work at all. start on (stopped oem-config) works better but oem-config seems never to technically finish. This is a nightmare. Rob, that explains those few lines your fixup script.. :) We're going to prep an update for all our lines soon that enables

The oem-config upstart job is set to start on gdm, which means that GDM should never start before it. Can you please make sure you have the latest oem-config, then boot with --debug on the kernel command line? This will add upstart job debugging information to your logs (/var/log/syslog,

rootstock already installs oem-config-gtk by default and configures it properly if you: a) dont create a user from its commandline options (dont use -l and -p) and b) gdm or kdm gets installed by your packageset it obviously starts fine in this configuartion for all other users, this issue must

Will try the debug thing. No changes have been made to the system since rootstock and adding packages. Way back in the deep dark past (jaunty?) this method I used worked fine. I don't think you can blame it on modification of the system. I ran aptitude. Oliver, there are a couple bugs making

yes, bug 628587 clearly indicates that oem-config starts fine if you use rootstock without modifying anything (there surely is a bug with user creation we didnt have the time to research yet) ... note also that rootstock doesnt use aptitude at any time ... if you see permission errors with the

After creating a rootstock with xfce about 20 times last week, and manually hacking the permissions before booting, I can safely say it does NOT start because GDM manages to get in the way every time. Rob must be very lucky to have a disgustingly slow SD card on his Beagleboard which is giving

Just a note... I haven't really had a chance to test a working* oem-config/ubiquity with an xfce based image from rootstock (just bare terminal setups).. So I can't confirm or deny gdm may or may not be fighting with it.. *(just started testing the gtk gui version last week with 2.3.17/18/19 all

Okay I guess I am going to run another minimal image up and fetch Xfce and ubiquity and see what the difference is. We have a few fiddles to make sure GDM doesn't rocket off and make itself the owner of vt7 here but it remains to be seen if this is a real fix or just something we're going to use
