Comment 13 for bug 504224

I also have these problems with nfs-mounted /home on Lucid. Sometimes GDM starts and lets me log in before /home is mounted, which leads to what amounts to a crash.

I made a partial workaround by hacking /etc/init/gdm.conf to make GDM wait on /home being mounted. This is an improvement but not a fix. Sometimes I'm left looking at a text screen for a minute or two before /home mounts and GDM starts; other times the wait is long and I have to log in, gain root, manually issue 'mount /home', and manually restart GDM.

All this works perfectly in Karmic; the problem is new to Lucid.

So can I just copy over Karmic's /etc/init directory to the Lucid install and have a working system?
