In my case the repro was simply: 1) Install Ubuntu 7.10 from CD. 2) Log in to desktop GUI and apply available updates from notification icon. 3) Reboot and never get an interactive desktop upon GDM login while nautilus log thrashes (text console logins work fine).
My is/was slightly different because it was triggered simply by logging in, not logging out and back in or by switching users. However, the symptoms were the same. I installed Debian Etch because I need a stable desktop to get work done. I was genuinely surprised this wasn't getting attention in a supported *release* version, thanks. -- [Gutsy] high processor activity after logging out and then logging in again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
