I've noticed that the same thing happens when using Xubuntu (XFCE), which suggests that it's nothing to do with Unity but has something to do with the underlying layers in the window system. Since X is a networked window system, you may expect something like this to happen, but I don't remember seeing it until the last couple of years.
Once in the console I can use kill -9 to terminate X, but the graphical session manager doesn't restart automatically. In Xubuntu I'd guess that you need to restart lightdm if you want to avoid rebooting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066374 Title: "/etc/init.d/networking restart" causes unity to crash (12.10 beta) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1066374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
