[Bug 580755] Re: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled
I have the same problem in ubuntu 10.04.1 When I lock my screen and leave it alone for more than 5 minutes (or so), the keyboard and mouse do not work when I come back. Force restart re-enables the devices after startup, but I can't find another way to unlock the screen, when it acts up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580755 Title: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I observe a similar behavior on 2.6.36.1 and 2.6.37-rc3. The gdm login window locks up for 20 seconds and then gets released. With kdm the lockup seems to be either longer or permanent. It does look like kms+gdm problem. Mine is intel's i915. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580755 Title: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 580755] Re: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled
0n 23/05/2010, my wife was checking e-mails when I left for work; she is not aware of my hibernate technique, so she shut-down using shutdown. I wasn't too concerned about this, as I had been thinking that I should try a proper boot. So when I first booted the next morning, I used the normal kernel, just to see whether there would be any change. It actually booted as it should, without any lock-up (contrary to my posted bug). However, I then discovered that my network was not connected. I tried rebooting my router modem; this did not help. I searched the internet for suggestion, but this also did not help. So I decided to reboot the PC. This did not go smoothly. Comments on the subsequent multiple boot attempts: 1. Using normal mode; this allowed me to enter my PW at the sign-on screen, but the window then locked-up. I am not sure whether it was this attempt or the next one where I still had a mouse KB, but could not initiate any action with them. (This is more or less my reported bug). 2. I then did the subsequent boots using safe mode. 3. On another boot, it got some way into the boot, then the system initiated reboot itself. 4. It may have been one of the safe mode boots where the mouse KB were available, but the PC was not taking action of the clicks. In this case, there were icons across the bottom of the screen (I don't think that this happens in normal mode, only safe mode), including a shut-down/restart icon. When I clicked on shut-down, it listed its 3 options (shutdown, restart, hibernate). However, when I clicked on restart nothing happened. When I clicked ctl-alt-del or back-space, nothing happened. I didn't try ctl-alt-F1, because I don't know what to do on a terminal at that stage of booting. 5. The final attempt (using safe mode, selecting run in safe mode, then selecting start X) worked OK, with all functions (except CUPS (see bug #554172)), including the network. I have been wondering whether my boot problems may be an upstart problem. Bug #554172 is pondering various start problems; I am not sure that anyone has put this lock-up issue into consideration there.

I am also a subscriber to bug #554172, CUPS other services not starting up at boot. It has been suggested to me that my lack of keyboard mouse may be due to these not beingstarted in the normal way, particularly as they are started when I use the abnormal way to boot (as described above in #2). Any comments?

[Bug 580755] Re: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled
I tried another idea: I thought that, since the lock-up occurs during the sign-on process, I could bypass that stage by changing login to log me in automatically. A little while after completing the boot menu, The message, as in comment #2 above, appeared (There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256). I don't know whether the keyboard was locked at that stage, as when I pressed enter nothing seemed to happen for a while (I think that the OK button may have indicated a click; the message stayed on the screen for a fair while). But eventually it disappeared, the desktop was displayed. However, the mouse keyboard were locked, so I could not use the PC.

[Bug 580755] Re: Login screen locks up; mouse keyboard are disabled
Some new things I tried: 1. I now shut-down using hibernate. When I next switch on the PC, it boots up quickly to the log-in screen, which behaves with no problems. I don't know whether this is a good long-term solution for me... 2. I did a complete fresh install on a separate hard drive. I first tried the install on the PC that is having problems. The live CD could not boot. So, I installed the system on another PC. I then put this fresh HDD in the problem PC (while the PC's normal HDD was disconnected). It had exactly the same problem during boot - it froze up at the sign-on screen.

I forgot to mention above: 1. After signing-on, the following message appears: Message: There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256). 2. From the fail-safe options, I can get a good login screen from either selection: . Run in low graphics mode for this session only, or . Restart X.
