In this situation, '/var' will not be unmounted cleanly on shut-down. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install openSUSE 12.2-RC2 + KDE3 (kdebase3-kdm, kdebase3-session, kdebase3-workspace) with '/var' partition (for example, /dev/sda1=swap, /dev/sda2='/var', /dev/sda3='/') 2. set DISPLAYMANAGER='kdm3' in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and reboot. 3. select shut down from kdm3 menu. Actual Results: shutdown process will hang, or '/var' will not unmounted cleanly. Expected Results: should be shutdown cleanly. Cause of problem: Since kdm3 (kdebase3-kdm) is treated as plymouth-supported in /etc/init.d/xdm (because 'DM' variable will be set to 'kdm' if kdm3 or kdm4 is used), 'plymouth quit' will not be run on kdm3 startup although kdm3 does not support plymouth. Workaround (one of them is needed to be applied): * uninstall plymouth (zypper rm plymouth) and rebuild initrd (mkinitrd). * change systemd to sysvinit. * run "plymouth quit" before shutting down (it is necessary to run each time). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
