Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu. ~> lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic. upstart: Installed: 0.6.5-7 Candidate: 0.6.5-7 Version table: *** 0.6.5-7 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.6.5-6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 3) What you expected to happen After system starts, I expect to have the following consoles available: CTRL-ALT-F1: tty1 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F2: tty2 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F3: tty3 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F4: tty4 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F5: tty5 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F6: tty6 text login prompt CTRL-ALT-F7: boot messages CTRL-ALT-F8: graphical login manager 4) What happened instead Consoles 2 through 8 work correctly, but instead of getting a log on prompt for tty1, I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor about halfway down on the left side. The ps command does not show any getty process for tty1: ~> ps -ef | grep tty root 850 1 0 14:09 tty4 00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4 root 855 1 0 14:09 tty5 00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5 root 861 1 0 14:09 tty2 00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2 root 862 1 0 14:09 tty3 00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty3 root 864 1 0 14:09 tty6 00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty6 root 1614 1599 2 14:10 tty8 00:01:34 /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/slim.auth If I run "sudo start tty1", I get "tty1 start/running, process nnnn" and the ps command shows a getty process for tty1. When I switch to the console, I get a login prompt, but it does not behave property. I sometimes have to press a key twice before the character appears, and I cannot log in successfully. The other consoles work correctly. 5) Other notes I'm using SLiM for my login manager, and I've disabled the graphic splash screen by setting the GRUB command line in /etc/default/grub as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.modeset=1" "i915.modeset=1" is there as a workaround for bug #566379.
