 |

Hello,
I am a proud gentoo user, jet i have encountered a problem i can't manage.
I have installed fbsplash and it works fine. However, if a startup service couldn't start, it switches to tty1 now. While it is nice to be informed about failed services this way, i would like to change this behavior.
I use WLAN and vpnc at the university, but don't have any at home. So my wireless card gets started in the default runlevel. And if there are no networks, it fails to start (of course) and the system swithes to tty1 from X server. And i have to press Atl-F7 to get back to my KDE. Worse is, that vpnc fails too (there are no wireless networks around, remember?) and i get the first console again!
It there any way to change this behavior?
i use suspend2-sources-2.6.18 and here is a part from grub.conf:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,1)/boot
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 video=savagefb:,ywrap,mtrr:2,1024x768-32@60 splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2007.0 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 fbcon=scrollback:128k quiet
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/fbsplash |

First, how does X start before the network does? (just curious)
I would recommend you to emerge sys-apps/ifplugd (it needs no configuration). Instead of waiting to receive the connection, it does it in the background, and it expects that there might not be a connection, so it does not give you an error.
As for vpnc, I'm not sure, since I've never used it. I think ifplugd will not start any services dependant on the network if it's not available, but I can't try it myself right now.
Hope this helps!

I already have ifplugd installed. Seems to me, it is for wired connections only. And my problem is slightly different - i don't have this issue if i turn fbsplash off (even with framebuffer enabled), without splash=... i don't return to tty1 on failed service. So it is clearly an fbsplash issue. Is there any option i have to pass in my grub.conf to disable this switching back? |
