Public bug reported: This is an odd bug that has only started happening recently in maverick. If you log out and back in several times (this takes usually about 6-10 times to come into effect) then suddenly the new gdm/Xorg will become extremely slow and Xorg will take up 100% CPU.
For example, though I don't think that this is an Nvidia bug, the Nvidia logo that you normally see for a split second (or not at all usually) appears for over three minutes, then the magenta background loads, with the mouse cursor able to move once every 15 seconds or so. I can't even use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or switch to a tty; the only way to get out is SysRq/REISUB. Attached is an example of how slow it becomes so suddenly; the Nvidia splash takes so long that I'm able to take out my phone and photograph it. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- logging out and back in a few times causes Xorg to hang and become sluggish https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
