[17:52] <robclark> does anyone know anything about this error from lightdm:
[17:52] <robclark> WARNING: Error using VT_ACTIVATE 7 on /dev/console: Invalid argument
[17:52] <ogra_> not really, try #ubuntu-desktop (specifically robert_ancell, he is upstream)
[17:54] <robclark> fwiw, I don't see this on my laptop.. I do see on panda, and when I google for that I turn up a bunch of other panda or other arm-ish looking setups..
[17:56] <robclark> ogra_, or anyone else that has a panda setup with working lightdm, could you check quickly if you see the same error in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log?
[17:56] <ogra_> i wonder if thats a vesa function
[17:56] <robclark> well, looks like normal VT switch stuff, which I would *expect* to work..
[17:56] <robclark> of course, might be some funny dependency on vga-switcharoo or some vesa stuff
[17:57] <ogra_> [+66.25s] DEBUG: Greeter connected, display is ready
[17:57] <ogra_> [+66.25s] DEBUG: New display ready, switching to it
[17:57] <ogra_> [+66.25s] DEBUG: Activating VT 7
[17:57] <ogra_> nothing else wrt VT
[17:58] <ogra_> so it seems to be fine for me
[17:58] <robclark> ok.. then I guess that I am on the right track about my lightdm issues..
[18:01] <ogra_> did you compare your kernel config to ours ?
[18:02] <robclark> ogra_, well, that is just w/ TI ppa kernel..  my dev filesystem w/ self-built kernel is fine
[18:02] <robclark> I guess I can grab /proc/config.gz
[18:03] <robclark> I'm not sure what config you have in main repo's..  or if ours differs.. but I guess somehow lightdm works for at least some other people..
[18:03] <ogra_> not sure we ship that enabled but /boot has the config
[18:04] <robclark> got a config handy that I could diff against?
[18:06] <ogra_> one sec
[18:08] <ogra_> robclark, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1264305/
[18:10] <robclark> urrg.. way does paste.ubuntu.com make me login to download as plain text..  wget doesn't like that much :-/
[18:10] <ogra_> yeah, its odd
[18:11] <ogra_> the alternative would be a capcha i guess
[18:11] <ogra_> IS doesnt wont to run it fully open
[18:12] <robclark> well, I guess wget couldn't deal w/ a captcha either :-P
[18:12] <ogra_> yeah
[18:13] <robclark> ogra_, hmm, we have CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y, but you do not..
[18:13] <robclark> there are a bunch of other diff's but I guess they are unrelated (I guess this is from 3.5 kernel in your case?)
