[Splashy-devel] Bug#455685: Splashy makes GDM initscript fail (and hence, leaves system on VT1)

[Diego Escalante Urrelo]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.7-1
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

After updating to splashy 0.3.7, GDM broke. It didn't start anymore. A
quick visit to init 1 allowed me to see the output of GDM initscript,
that took me to the culprit: splashy.
The problem was a bad if [] in line 178 of /etc/lsb-base-loggin.sh,
which is referenced as a fix for bug #400598.

I couldn't catch the exact message, sorry. But you might want to
double-check that line.
