Bug#698142: general: gnome locks up (other CLI terminals still OK)
Package: general Severity: important After using Gnome for a few minutes it locks up. i.e. mouse pointer still moves but nothing else works. Even the on-screen clock stops. ctrl-alt-F1 still gets me to CLI which still works normally. Can then reboot using ctrl-alt-delete but haven't found any other way to get Gnome back. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can confirm this bug, it has been present for the last few months. You don't have to restart the computer though, it is sufficient to restart gdm3 (i.e. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart). You will lose your currently running gnome session, but don't need to restart.

Please file the bug against gnome-shell using reportbug on the system where you experience this problem. Sorry, might have been a bit to quick to close the bug as I somehow read gnome-shell in the subject, doh' Richard, can you confirm, that the bug is happening on the system you filed the bug report from, i.e. squeeze? To me this looks like an X issue. Can you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the output of dmesg and your ~/.xsession-errors next time such a lock up occurs.
