Bug#619376: kdm: does not start with parallel boot
Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.4.5-7+squeeze1
Severity: normal
After enabling plymouth with the squeeze theme, to the delight of
the user of a laptop, with uvesafb (due to her requirement of the
fglrx drivers for X proper), kdm doesn’t start any more.
This is related to the following bug in Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/441653
The suggestion from there was to add a “sleep 1” before starting
kdm; installing file-rc fixed the problem for me.
Rhonda suggested I reportbug this, so here you are.
