[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#617249: sysv-rc: staircase effect during shutdown

[Alberto Cuadrado]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1
Severity: minor

During shutdown, a staircase effect appears in the console messages while
several services are being stopped. Maybe this bug has to be reassigned to xorg
or gdm3 because the staircase effect disappears just after the "Stopping GNOME
Display Manager: gdm3." message, but I'm not sure. Also, the effect appears
only from a gnome session, not when shutting down or rebooting from a virtual
terminal.

I have solved this problem adding the parameter "opost" to the following line
in
/etc/init.d/rc:

stty onlcr 0>&1

so now, for me, it is:

stty opost onlcr 0>&1

but I don't know the possible side-effects of this fix in other system
configurations.
