You have been subscribed to a public bug: The title is pretty self-explaining.
I try to log in, input my username/password and then hit enter -- desktop begins to show up and nothing happens. I can still move mouse, but there is just plain brown background without anything. So I press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace and repeat from the first step a couple of times before I actually log in. The same problem happens to, for example, gnome-screensaver. When I press Alt+Ctrl+L or select 'Lock screen', it works fine. Then I move mouse/hit some key and authorization windows pops up. I input my password, it says 'authentication...' and it may stay this way frozen until I press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace to log out. Notable: if I input wrong password, the screensaver also may hang. I think this bug may be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/gnome-session/+bug/49594 (Bonobo-activation-server sometimes is not killed after session restart, leading to many unexpected problems). Though symptoms is a bit different. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- User is not always able to log in or pass authorization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
