If you want to drop to single user mode. When you are going to be doing things like back up the system it is essential that everything be shut down so you can remount the root fs read-only for instance. > Case in point, I have gnome-terminal set up to run byobu-launcher which sets > up > a screen session, and the session continues on between gdm sessions, allowing > me > to reconnect to it after re-logging in, either on gdm again, a tty or via SSH. That screen session should be run by init as a parallel service to gdm so it can be started or stopped when appropriate, with or without gdm. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3J3qYACgkQJ4UciIs+XuLBnACgrh07K3cof6Pzf75gn8MmiQ0T cC4An0XwgOxAXHnm0JnWLdiuvzJ0BqIJ =/WY3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
