Hi, the attached patch seems to fix the problem for me (running kubuntu 7.10 with self compiled fglrx 8.3; yes, I know, not the right setup, but I assume this will also happen in hardy.).
Without this patch the process atieventsd infinitely waits for a child process 'sh -c "/etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh grant :0 /tmp/atievntX.3N1JTc"' (and this one waits for a child process 'xauth -f list'. Try this on your command line). Perhaps other people having this problem may check for such hanging processes: ps axuwww | grep -q authati || echo "authatieventsd fails" If so, try to kill these process *before* shutting down the X server. Can anyone else confirm this? ** Attachment added: "authatieventsd.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12737164/authatieventsd.patch -- [fglrx] freezes upon Logout or Switch user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118605 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
