Comment 7 for bug 447226

Hi Scott,

Tried this suggested change to the dependency list, and it did not change how things behaved. i.e. I still got a black screen into normal multi-user graphical boot..

I do not think it is a dependency issue, as I can startup to multi-user (in text mode) and manually start 'gdm'.

Which works fine. I then manually edited /etc/init/gdm.conf and removed the exit 0 when 'text' is in /proc/cmdline.

And then: 'start gdm' also works fine.

So:
 - when the system is booted into multi user (or single user) mode, I can manually get the gdm service to start
 - when run under strace, the gdm service starts all the time (albeit slowly)

Hmm, actually, it might be a dependency issue -- perhaps X (and/or gdm) is depending upon something else working? Is there a way to see in what order services were kicked off by Upstart? Then I can have gdm depend on the very last service and then bisect the list to see if adding anothing dependency helps.

Regards,
Anand
