Guys,
The runlevel 5 init scripts have been rearranged and now the switch to graphics mode from text mode occurs much too early hiding a majority of the boot process (samba, mysql, ntp, etc....) How can I change the time when this switch occurs so I can monitor the boot process like we have always been able to. Before it was very useful for catching errors after config changes, etc.. Now all of this is obscured and hidden from the user.
I can think of several ways: change the dependencies of /etc/rc.d/xdm and /etc/rc.d/earlyxdm, deactivate earlyxdm or set RUN_PARALLEL="no" in /etc/sysconfig/boot. A combination of these should probably suffice.
Having the switch to graphics mode this early seems ridiculous. Instead of being able to monitor for errors now, you are switched into a basically 'dead' login display that is virtually non-responsive until the boot process completes anyway.
I can immediately log-in here, when kdm appears. Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
