Hi
I got this bug on Xubuntu 13.04 and seems to be since doing a recent
update (Xubuntu base - kernel, I guess).
In my case however, having done the update and then restarting my pc
(as instructed), I was completely unable to arrive at the login screen.
My only option was to press the power button and try again but login
fails repeatedly and never succeeds. All I see is a black screen with a
blinking text cursor in the top left corner. Pressing ctrl+alt+f2 lets
me login and then by running sudo restart lightdm I get to the proper
login screen. I logged into xfce, and it was at this point that the
crash notification appeared with the same title as this bug.
The black screen and blinking cursor problem has plagued my system since
upgrading to 13.04. With 12.10, I never had such problems. Whilst it was
irritating, it happened randomly and I could more or less live with it.
Now though, it is EVERY TIME!
My only route into my system is doing the above, or, selecting the
previous kernel version in GRUB at bootup via advanced options.
Prior to working out a method to log in, the problem effectively
rendered my system unusable...and was rather alarming at first. I
really, really, need things to be more stable than this. I had hoped, in
fact, that the recent update would have fixed my original problem (since
upgrade to raring 13.04). I did not, however, expect it to make things
even worse!
If I can be of any assistance to help crush this flaming bug then please
let me know.
Also, seeing as my description seems somewhat different to the OP, then
perhaps my problem relates to something else. If so, kindly point me in
the right direction...
I hope the above helps.
Thanks
Christopher
