Title:
  /etc/init.d/bootlogd causes switch from graphical bootup to text

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initscripts

  1)

  eve[~]% lsb_release -rd             
  Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
  Release:	9.10

  2)

  eve[~]% apt-cache policy initscripts

  no switch to text mode during bootup

  4)

  I see the switch into graphical mode, with a pulsating ubuntu logo.

  During boot, the text "Starting boot logger bootlogd" appears - and
  this text causes a switch to text mode.

  The system switches back to graphical mode, launching GDM and allowing
  login but having the switch from text (initial boot), to graphical
  (pulsating logo), to text (starting boot logger) and then finally
  graphical is somewhat jarring.

  eve[~]% cat /etc/default/bootlogd 
  # Run bootlogd at startup ?
  BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
