Umm... The problem really is that kdm should use LSB on its init script. If kdm uses LSB, it would override its functions from /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh and we would be able to stop splashy when kdm starts.<br><br>Now, splashy switches to tty8 before starting and when it times out it doesn't attempt to change the tty back to 1 or 7. Splashy is a simple app. That logic should be done by the scripts that wrap the different behaviors for all the services you might be using.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
When splashy is used with file-rc[1], I observe the following behavior:<br>
<br>
- splashy shows the splash screen<br>
- file-rc starts up services<br>
- eventually, kdm is started<br>
- the splash screen remains shown<br>
- we now have a kdm process and a splashy process (with three children)<br>
- the splash screen remains shown<br>
- after some time, the splashy process vanishes<br>
- the splash screen remains shown<br>
<br>
which results in a system that cannot be logged in to via the console.<br>
Restarting kdm seems to do the trick, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't (so<br>
the splash screen also captures the keyboard).<br>
<br>
The observations above were done via ssh.<br>
<br>
I know that the real fault is with file-rc here, but shouldn't splashy<br>
remove itself upon timeout? In this case, this would at least<br>
eventually result in a useable system.<br>
<br>
Greetings<br>
