Package: slim Version: 1.3.6-5 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I am not sure that this is a slim problem, but as the system is almost unusable, I cannot investigate. After an apt-get upgrade earlier today, the system presents a new slim login page. Logging in works, but then the whole system restarts X (presumably) and the sylim login prompt appear again. This ahhpens in what seems to be an infinite loop, roughly every minute or so. I am only able to compose this message outside X using a pseudo terminal. The restarts interrupt the terminal and represents the slim login page. Fortunately the terminal context is retained so I can switch back to the terminal. I have not yet tried removing slim which I hope I may be able to do despite the constant restarts. I suspect slim because it seems to be the only likely candidate in the set of upgrades earlier today, and it is the slim login screen which keeps looping. Presumably others will report this problem as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages slim depends on: ii dbus 1.10.18-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.60 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-14 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 ii libpng16-16 1.6.28-1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-14 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxft2 2.3.2-1+b2 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages slim recommends: ii xterm 327-2 Versions of packages slim suggests: pn scrot <none> ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1+b2 -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: slim slim/daemon_name: /usr/bin/slim
