[07:18] <ralfgro_> JanC: you mean a mirror hostname? we have a local mirror in our LAN, other mirrors in the internet are not reachable because of proxies.
[08:50] <ralfgro_> morning
[08:50] <ralfgro_> I've tried to add some test code to the kdm.conf script
[08:50] <ralfgro_> http://pastebin.com/i3hXt4L4
[08:51] <ralfgro_> just a simple test to see if user interaction works
[08:52] <ralfgro_> the problem is that I see the pre-script output but the console does not responds on a pressed key
[08:53] <ralfgro_> kdm start/pre-start, process 706
[08:53] <ralfgro_> the console screen doesn not accept any key, neither j/n or ctrl-c
[08:54] <ralfgro_> so kdm is in a dead lock because the pre-scrip never finishs
[08:55] <ralfgro_> and... is there somewhere a more complete documentation? I was looking for the task stanza on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas
[08:56] <ralfgro_> task is not mentioned there, but on http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas_for_0.5.1
[08:56] <ralfgro_> but without description
[10:06] <ralfgro_> ok, I can read the line with ""read foo <  /dev/tty7
[10:06] <ralfgro_> "
[13:34] <JanC> ralfgro_: stanza documentation for the version of upstart you use is in the init(5) manpage
[15:25] <ralfgro_> JanC: ah, ok
[15:27] <ralfgro_> can I create a dependancy in script/service A that prevents script/service B from beeing started?
[15:29] <JanC> ralfgro_: prevent it from being started at all or make it wait until A is finished?
[15:29] <ralfgro_> I have a script that should run when the ttys start, so I depend on tty1. And it should run before kdm/gdm starts (if they are installed at all)
[15:30] <ralfgro_> but I would prefere to not change gdm.conf
[15:30] <ralfgro_> so all this should be handelt in our new script
[15:31] <ralfgro_> wait until A is finished, but I want not to add an additional "started xxx" line to script B
[15:31] <JanC> "start on starting gdm" in your new job will make gdm wait until the new job is started, and a job marked as a "task" is not started until it's finished running
[15:32] <ralfgro_> what if gdm is not installed at all?
[15:32] <ralfgro_> we have systems with kdm/gdm and without
[15:32] <ralfgro_> therefor I added "start on starting tty1"
[15:34] <ralfgro_> a tty is there in any case
[15:35] <ralfgro_> the scrip has a bit user interaction and should run before anyone is logged in. I described it a bit her yesterday.
[15:36] <ralfgro_> I'll try a bit more and see what happens, anyway team meeting now
