[Bug 155947] Re: ldap config causes Ubuntu to hang at login

[Dustin Kirkland]

I modified the title of this bug from "hang at reboot" to "hang at
login".

Hanging at boot is a little misleading, as a boot hang generally points
to a kernel bug, which we are sure this is not.

Rather, this bug manifests itself by prompting the user for login
credentials, and then hanging because an LDAP server is not available.
In all reproductions of this bug, the console is responsive to pressing
enter, is pingable, and toggling numlock/capslock flashes the LEDs.

Furthermore, the fact that the last message shown was "Starting kernel
log daemon" is entirely a timing issue with Upstart (I was eventually
able to reproduce this, see the attached screenshot).  This was
misleading, as the login prompt was displayed as soon as possible, with
Upstart continuing through it's startup measures.  Scott has fixed this
as reported in another bug, see: Bug #65230.  Now, Upstart will delay
printing the login prompt on tty1 until all init scripts have completed.
