#dmesg|grep tty
console [tty0] enabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:07: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
0000:00:03.3: ttyS4 at I/O 0xec98 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
The thing is, it shouldn’t even be calling /bin/bash at that stage. It
first has to call /bin/login to get the user name and password before
creating a shell for the user.
Sorry, that message is not part of the strace output, its generated by
konsole.
Failsafe mode didn’t help, but if I type:
Code:
#init 3
in a konsole window then X and kdm are killed (obviously) but the tty’s
start up!
Returning to init 5 restarts kdm and the tty’s still run.
I have checked /etc/inittab (see first post) and both runlevels 3 and 5
are configured.
There is nothing obvious in the runlevel editor or /etc/sysconfig
editor - but I wonder is this a security feature? i.e. no text logins in
graphic mode by default?
No, according to inittab the vttys are active in both levels 3 and 5.
Does this reliably happen at boot or was it just that time it went
wrong? If you cannot repeat the problem then just write it off as one of
those things.
I don’t recall whether it was like this when I first installed. The
only thing I can think of that I have done to affect it is to configure
the Xen kernel and then remove it. Otherwise nothing else has really
touched the runlevels.
Its not the end of the world, I can use konsole and now I have a
workaround with init 3, but it would be good to get to the bottom of :\
Hi
I wonder if one of the services has been changed somehow? Can you check
to see whats running at what run level. Boot so it’s not working, then
check services (service -s) then drop to runlevel 3 and see again. The
other thought is running the command SuSEconfig.
