** Summary changed: - Users can't login after session crash + Bonobo-activation-server sometimes is not killed after session restart, leading to many unexpected problems
** Description changed: + I edit the description of this bug to reflect recent discovery. + After the first sucessfull login, X is restarted using - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or due to a crash, then logins don't work anymore. - The login name/password are accepted by gdm but gnome hangs on load - after the login. This does not affect TTY or SSH logins. Restarting X - again with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but the issue persists. All the users - that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical session - anymore. + Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or due to a crash, or sometimes even due to normal + logout, then either logins don't work anymore, or you can login, but + popups warn you that the settings daemon cannot be reached, and the + overall aspect of the session changes. - I inspected many log's (/var/log/messages /var/log/syslog) but i can't - find something that explains this. + In the first case, the login name/password are accepted by gdm but gnome + hangs on load after the login. This does not affect TTY or SSH logins. + Restarting X again with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but the issue persists. All + the users that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical + session anymore. In both cases, killing bonobo-activation-server + manually from a tty before login, solves the problem. -- Bonobo-activation-server sometimes is not killed after session restart, leading to many unexpected problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
