[Bug 802271] Re: Characters sent to tty1

 

Strange.  Fix released and it crashes for me hitting ENTER at the login
prompt (running 11.10)

I added vt=7 to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf  as below

[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu
vt=7

and it stops crashing when hitting ENTER at the login promtpt. Nice! 
First question: Fix Released, but what is acctually fixed?

Second question: it crashes if I start a terminal and press ENTER. 
Is there something else I need to fix?

Title:
  Characters sent to tty1

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Every now and then I see some characters sent to tty1 (see attached
  screenshot). It even seems to try to login... I'm getting this on two
  different up-to-date Oneiric systems.

  I'm not sure if that's caused by lightdm but that's my best guess.
