Have you logged in on any console? I have console logins running on tty1
and tty3 and I have 2 gnome-terminals running under X:
If I look for bash-in-a-tty I get the two consoles:
[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ps ax | egrep 'tty[0-9].*bash'
3338 tty1 S 0:00 -bash
17142 tty3 S 0:00 -bash
Look for any bash and I see the two consoles and the two gnome-terms (on
pts):
[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ps ax | egrep bash
3338 tty1 S 0:00 -bash
17107 pts/1 S 0:00 bash
17142 tty3 S 0:00 -bash
17218 pts/1 S 0:00 egrep bash
Then if I check for what's running on each tty, I find:
[cdaly at Valkerie cdaly]$ ps ax | egrep tty
1011 tty2 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2
1013 tty4 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4
1014 tty5 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5
1015 tty6 S 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6
mingetty running on ttys 2,4,5,6
1219 tty1 S 0:00 login -- cdaly
3338 tty1 S 0:00 -bash
login and bash running on each of tty 1 and 3
1012 tty3 S 0:00 login -- cdaly
17142 tty3 S 0:00 -bash
Your results are consistent with booting to runlevel 5 (that's level 3 in
debian isn't it?) and logging in directly to X. What do you get from
'ps ax | egrep tty'? Login on a console and repeat. You should see
results much like mine. Try booting to text-only mode (runlevel 3 on RH,
runlevel 2 on debian?). Login and then do 'startx'. You should get some
of the diagnostics you mentioned back on tty1 at that stage.
