Bug Description
This mainly affects users who wish to use the "text" GRUB flag on bootup for KDE users. I have found that opting to boot using the "text" option simply fails to stop KDM from starting.
Users on the forums have suggested the use of a manual override in /etc/init/
Adding the following lines to the "script" portion of the kdm.conf file would fix this without affecting regular users:
if [ -n "$UPSTART_EVENTS" ]
then
# Check kernel command-line for inhibitors, unless we are being called
# manually
for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
if [ "$ARG" = "text" ]; then
fi
done
