** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gdm
When fsck runs on boot it triggers a failsafe x session every time on
all of my machines running lucid. Coupled with the fact failsafeX uses
vesa which does not work when i915 is loaded with KMS as well as the
fact fsck's happen without any visual feedback when plymouth is
installed it is a pretty nasty bug when it happens. I have filed a
seperate bug regarding possibly adding a check in
/etc/gdm/failsafeXStart to use fbdev instead of vesa already. (lp:
#496773)
Steps to reproduce:
1) Set the mount count flag on a partition higher than the maximum mount
count line dumpe2fs lists.
(for example: sudo tune2fs -C 200 /dev/sda1)
2) Reboot
- Changing /etc/init/gdm.conf so it checks "and stopped udevtrigger"
- instead of "or stopped udevtrigger)" after the graphics-device-added or
- drm-device-added section fixes the problem for me
