[Bug 1315442] Re: Extra "fi" in /etc/init.d/gdm
I have made a fix (patch) for this bug for trusty, tested on Ubuntu-
Gnome trusty and attached it as trusty-gdm_3.10.0.1-0ubuntu3.2.debdiff
to this comment:
This is a very simple change to the code in debian/gdm.init - I removed
line 78 which has an extra unmatched "fi"
Tested as follows:
Built binaries using sbuild in latest trusty environment on a trusty machine. Fired up an Ubuntu-Gnome trusty 14.04.2 release build LiveCD in a virtual machine. Verified the bug failure on the plain vanilla vivid LiveCD as follows:
cd /etc/init.d
./gdm
(gave syntax error)
./gdm start
(gave syntax error)
Copied all the .deb files from the trusty sbuild on the trusty build
machine onto the Ubuntu-Gnome trusty livecd vm. Installed the four .deb
files using "dpkg -i ..." Install succeeded, and visually inspecting
/etc/init.d/gdm showed original line 78 was indeed removed. Typed:
cd /etc/init.d
./gdm
(worked as expected - no syntax error)
./gdm start
(worked as expected - no syntax error)
This confirms that the bug fix works for the 14.04.2 release version of
Ubuntu-Gnome.

Ubuntu release 14.04 LTS

I just tried to start gdm with "/etc/init.d/gdm start " and got the
message:
/etc/init.d/gdm: 79: /etc/init.d/gdm: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected
(expecting "}")
I'm aware of service(8) but cjwatson said I should report this as a
bug anyway!
