Public bug reported: Ubuntu 6.06.
Sometimes after resuming my laptop from suspend/hibernate, I can't start any new programs, like gaim, xchat-gnome or something. I can't even open the "log out/shut down/suspend/hibernate" window. On the other hand, I can open new Firefox windows if Firefox was already running. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out of xorg to get it to work again. I believe this has something to do with unplugging the AC while the laptop is suspended/hibernated, but I haven't figured out when exactly it happens... sometimes after I resume the laptop and type in my password to the screensaver, the laptop immediately goes to screensaver again after showing the desktop for a second; I guess that might be the reaction to the AC unplugging. So far I haven't found a workaround, and I don't know what component is responsible for this stuff (/etc/acpi or gnome-power-manager or something else?), so I'm putting it here. I'll try not to plug/unplug the AC while in suspend/hibernate for a time, to get more info on this. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't start programs after resume from suspend/hibernate https://launchpad.net/bugs/52200 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
