It happened again, and I confirm that killing the gnome-settings-daemon helped also in 9.10.
In the previous post I wrote, that the killing is done by pressing the Ctrl+F1 to switch to console, then logging in and killing the daemon. It is however not possible to login (I completely forgot about this when writing the post yesterday). The machine reject the correct login/password combination. And it behaves very strange. After entering the login name, pasword and pressing 'Enter' it starts printing ^@ on the line below the 'Password:' prompt. After ^@ is printed 2 to 4 times it prints out 'Login incorrect:', display a prompt for the login name and continues to print another 20 ^@ characters. Afterwards it says: 'Login timed out after 60 seconds.' I will try to run apport-collect from home, it does not work behind a proxy here. -- [i965gm] Closing and opening lid sometimes leads to screen ENDLESSLY BLINKING https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
