[Bug 532047] Re: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7

 

@Krug: PS. do you have a founded opinion on my workaround/fix in comment
#91 ? My systems seems a bit slower to the desktop while booting, but I
haven't had the problem manifest itself. I might start explicitely
logging the virtual terminals for any X sessions somehow so I can be
sure that I'm actually on vt7 now).

To me the approach is a bit 'iffy' because I'd really think that X
should work without problems on a vt2 (e.g. when people have disabled
vt2-vt6 for many plausible reasons). Now, if this is really just a race
condition somewhere, my approach could be a good starting point (just
synchronize stuff). But perhaps, the root cause is more a false
assumption about virtual terminal allocation numbers. vt7 has been
grafted in collective linux memory over the last decade(s?)...
