** Description changed: To simplify reproduce steps, one only has to: 1. install (tested so far) Ubuntu Bionic 2. switch to other tty by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Fn 3. login and logout Then it should try to switch back to GDM (no matter you have logged in GUI or not), triggers vt-switch bug and lock up. Some more findings: 1. So far we know all other newer Ubuntu versions are immune, e.g. Ubuntu Cosmic's gdm(version 3.30.1-1ubuntu5). 2. login _and_ logout from another virtual console is required. Switching between text console and GUI back and forth before logging out doesn't trigger this bug. So this might(?) also involves systemd-logind as well; 3. while gdm locked up, kernel and the rest of the system are actually still alive. Networking is still available, and even the input devices are still functioning well. Only gdm fails to grab the device inputs. 4. when gdm locks up due to either resume from suspend or vt-switch, restart gdm (from remote ssh) will bring the system back. ### Disco | |4.15|4.18|4.19|5.0 |---|----|----|----|--- |nouveau| | | | |nvidia-390 bionic|Affected|Affected|Affected|Affected |nvidia-390 cosmic|Affected|Affected|Affected|Affected |nvidia-410|Affected|Affected|Affected|Affected Affected: only gdm(vt-1) fails to grab further input.
