Possibly relevant package: gdm: Installed: 2.26.1-0ubuntu3 Problem: After logging in via gdm (system freshly started up), after some minutes of typing (no matter in which program), I suddenly, without any warning, get kicked out of my session and back to the login screen. I suspect that this "event" is triggered by an unlucky but likely to occur key sequence. If I do not type anything the issue does not occur. There does not seem to be any single trigger key (i.e. the last key pressed before I get kicked out is not always the same one). After re-logging back in, the issue does not occur anymore, until the next reboot. Likely related symptoms: - The first gdm session appears to start on tty1, the ones after the crash on tty7 - After the crash, if I switch to tty1, many random characters are printed, i.e. $HOSTNAME login: *88;888;8;8<88A8 Ubuntu karmic (development branch) $HOSTNAME tty1 $HOSTNAME login: *1 Ubuntu karmic (development branch) $HOSTNAME tty1 [...] $HOSTNAME login: 5.........215,1$9 1& 9 9!&SSSSS09!&,1/GHG.//79.1 4 *1"*2.99*1&,99*2*9*29*!9*24''''''*KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.03KM/********************** Pa ssword: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) $HOSTNAME tty1 $HOSTNAME login: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) $HOSTNAME tty1 - GDM seemes to crash (it actually looks more like a controlled logout) when tty1 displays "password:" - The above random characters have little to do with the ones I pressed. - No related errors are to be found in any system log (which is why I suspect it is a controlled logout rather than a crash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/396226/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
