Some additional info (as well as two temporary solutions): If the gdm script (this is the script being executed when we press ctrl-alt-backspace) is launched in a terminal window, we have the same behaviour: no restart. However, if the gdm script is launched in a console the restart works:
In Gnome, open a console (for instance ctrl-alt-f1) Manually launch the restart script (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start). Another possibility is of course to just logout and from the login screen press ctrl-alt-backspace. I'll keep investigating why this behaviour (for the time being I have a suspicion only......). -- [feisty] ctrl+alt+backspace fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/92780 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
