I've determined some of the things involved on my system when this happens but I don't know if others' situations are the same.
Marc and I have our troublesome X sessions starting on VT1 (tty1). Is that true for other reporters? You can tell right after you see the inital graphic login screen after booting if you hold CTL-ALT and press F1 and the login screen doesn't change. If it does change you can press CTL-ALT and F7 or other Fn keys to go back--in that case your situation is different from Marc's and mine. The Xorg.0.log.old file after the crash also lists the VT Xon which X started before the crash. I noticed in the file he posted that Marc's session started on VT1. == Marc and other reporters seeing their graphic login on VT1: What is the last thing you are seeing on your screen before gdm starts up X and displays the graphic login? (Are you seeing a splash screen, or messages, or a blank screen)? If a blank screen, what was the last thing you saw on the screen before it is cleared? == Looking at another aspect of this bug: Do each of you see messages in /var/log/auth.log including text similar to "FAILED LOGIN (3) on '/dev/tty1'" before one of these crashes? -- X server crashes when enter key is pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
