change your getty to rungetty
I have been trying to do this ever since. I have Googled, tried various
things but am completely stuck. I set up a trial Lenny and IceWM system on
my laptop. I then installed rungetty. I next edited inittab (having firdt
saved the original as inittab.old) and changed getty to rungetty. When I
restarted I had neither getty nor rungetty running.
I then searched everywhere I could think of for other instances of getty and
could find none. I ought to have kept a list of the files I opened to look
for getty; it was a long one.
So I ran grep /etc overnight and half the following day but there was still no
return of any kind.
I have now set up a test bed on a spare desktop. I followed the same
procedure and the boot-up after restart hung.
The relevant part of the messages on screen was:
<quote>
entering runlevel 2
[cut]
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
[and so on for some time. But after that only the six respawning lines were
repeated.]
I rebooted into level one, replaced inittab with inittab.old, and I am back to
square one.
*So - how do I change my getty to rungetty?*
TIA
