[Bug 997483] [NEW] VT_WAITACTIVE does not work well with a multiseat setup

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by a7x (a7x):

Related to the fix introduced in bug #851612 .

Saw this in lightdm.log (system call interrupted because of ctrl-alt-del pressed):
[+2.97s] DEBUG: New display ready, switching to it
[+2.97s] DEBUG: Activating VT 8
[+77.56s] WARNING: Error using VT_WAITACTIVE 8 on /dev/console: Interrupted system call
[+77.56s] DEBUG: Got signal 15 from process 1
[+77.56s] DEBUG: Caught Terminated signal, shutting down

And in x-1-greeter.log:
[+0.48s] DEBUG: Loading users from org.freedesktop.Accounts
[+0.48s] DEBUG: Loading user /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001
[+0.50s] DEBUG: Loading user /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000
[+50.56s] WARNING: Error getting session list from org.freedesktop.DisplayManager: Timeout was reached

On vt7, unity-greeter would get stuck after password input.
On vt8, unity-greeter appears after that "getting session list timeout", which is about a minute later than vt7, and does not have a password input field.

lightdm blocked by VT_WAITACTIVE may be the cause...

Tested with lightdm 1.2.0-0ubuntu2 in precise.
