[21:00] <wfamy> Hi
[21:01] <wfamy> I am figthing to start a dialog console script before gdm. actualy the script start and gdm too. I have to crtl alt f  to show my dialog box.
[21:01] <wfamy> any clue will welcome.
[21:11] <mbiebl> wfamy: what is your problem? what are you trying to do?
[21:12] <wfamy> I want my script to end before gdm start.
[21:13] <mbiebl> start on starting gdm
[21:13] <mbiebl> should block gdm from being started until your job is finished
[21:14] <wfamy> I try to add in in /etc/init.d/gdm3 at the second line . My script start but gdm too.
[21:14] <wfamy> how to block?
[21:17] <mbiebl> init.d? that is a sysv init script
[21:18] <wfamy> I am looking for any clue I test lot of thing and ...
[21:18] <wfamy> still looking for.
[21:18] <wfamy> I do not understand upstart priority
[21:19] <mbiebl> is your script an upstart job or a sysv init script?
[21:19] <wfamy> it is a python script.
[21:20] <mbiebl> i give up
[21:20] <wfamy> I am ready to create any thing 
[21:22] <mbiebl> do you actually use upstart or why are you asking in #upstart?
[21:22] <mbiebl> which distro?
[21:23] <wfamy> I ask upstart because I was under lenny and 8.04 ubuntu and everything work well tell in rc.3 and gdm wait.
[21:23] <mbiebl> sorry, I don't understand you
[21:23] <mbiebl> you need to ask more precisely 
[21:24] <wfamy> I am working to update to 10.04 and squeeze and everithing start and may script is waiting on tty1 while gdm is runing 
[21:24] <mbiebl> for Ubuntu, you best create an upstart job
[21:25] <mbiebl> for squeeze you best stick to a simple sysv init script
[21:26] <JanC> you need an upstart job, which goes into /etc/init/ (not init.d)
[21:26] <JanC> see init(5) for the job file syntax
[21:26] <mbiebl> JanC: apparenly gdm is started via an sysv init script
[21:26] <mbiebl> wfamy: so, for ubuntu, create an upstart job and use the start on starting gdm 
[21:26] <JanC> it's not
[21:27] <mbiebl> JanC: /etc/init.d/gdm3
[21:27] <mbiebl> for squeeze, create a sysv init script and add Requred-Start: gdm3 to the LSB header
[21:28] <JanC> there is no /etc/init.d/gdm3 in a default 10.04 install AFAIK
[21:28] <mbiebl> JanC: read the backlog
[21:28] <mbiebl> he apparently tries to update a lenny *and* 8.04 system
[21:28] <mbiebl> but I might have misunderstood him
[21:28] <mbiebl> which is quite possible
[21:29] <wfamy> there is no update my computer are install using FAI
 I am working to update to 10.04 and squeeze and everithing start and may script is waiting on tty1 while gdm is runing
[21:29] <JanC> well, in 10.04 gdm is started by upstart
[21:29] <wfamy> We are working to propose 10.04 and squeeze install
[21:29] <mbiebl> wfamy: as I told you
[21:30] <mbiebl> for Ubuntu 10.04 create an upstart job
[21:30] <mbiebl> for Squeeze, use a sysv init script
[21:31] <wfamy> I am look /etc/init/  script to understand.
[21:32] <JanC> you may need an extra job for your dialog, or maybe you could add it to the pre-start script for the gdm job
[21:32] <JanC> an extra job might be cleanest
[21:33] <JanC> wfamy: and as I said, "man 5 init" will explain you how job files work
[21:34] <wfamy> Ok I could now search. I will ask later if pb.  thx
