Followup-For: Bug #806256
Package: systemd
Version: 232-25
Hello, I also experienced this bug.
steps to reproduce:
1. start X with startx
2. switch to any VT from X
3. log in as the same user* as the user running X
4. logout from VT. If login to the VT was as the same user as the user
running X, the VT closed and I was automatically switched back to X
without input working.
*If the login to the VT was as root, the problem did not occur. Upon
logout, the VT just displayed a new login prompt, as expected, and I was
able to switch back to the functioning X session logged in as my regular
user.
Reproducible=always.
In my case, no keypresses would work after returning to X except magic
sysreq. But, X was still updating the display. xorg cpu utilization
went to 120% while in this broken state (dual core 8yr old netbook).
Since you asked the original submitter about window manager, I am
running e17.
I reverted back to sysvinit/uninstalled systemd (and configured Xwrapper
to run X as root again, so it would start without the systemd bits).
With systemd gone, the problem no longer occurs.
