The original bug report was about a GTK bug, not about a segfaulting closed source driver. Please reopen, as the original issue is not fixed and valid.

Also, I'd like to add that I've found I only get this problem after installing fglrx according to these instructions on the Unofficial ATI Linux Driver Wiki: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide Following these instructions is the only way I can get a working fglrx driver. However, if I use the regular Ubuntu xorg repositories for fglrx, it doesn't happen.

The effect is caused by .gtkrc included in our theme (located in /opt/cip...). I'm now circumventing it by using the gtkrc from the Human theme. To reproduce, you can use e.g. the gtkrc from the Glossy theme, under /usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. -- [hardy] GDM hangs on a black screen upon startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 203825] Re: [hardy] GDM hangs on a black screen upon startup
Frankly, I had no idea it was a GTK issue. I get the same results as the reporter #203825, GTK stops my login screens from popping up. Interestingly, they /do/ pop up given enough time (~2-3 minutes at 100% CPU). I'll try to get a backtrace of my bug tomorrow, but I think the two can be merged. If this bug happens to be triggered by any GDM themes Ubuntu distributes (as opposed to our homebrewn), the severity of #147045 should probably be raised, as it at first glance stops users from logging in. -- [hardy] GDM hangs on a black screen upon startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I think I saw this, too. In my case, I could see the beige background and the circular timer mouse cursor spinning indefinitely. I went to a text console and ran top. I saw that gdmgreeter was monopolizing the CPU. I editied gdm.conf and switched to gdmlogin, restarted gdm and all was well (though gdmgreeter probably shouldn't be spinning like this). I didn't find anything apparently relevant in the gdm log, syslog, or Xorg.0.log. I reboot fairly often on my dual boot laptop.
