Finally making some headway, I tried the following: 1. boot the system. 2. at the graphical login prompt, switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) 3. login 4. logout
The screen displays the GUI login prompt but hangs. I can still login on this console using the braille display. 5. Log in from another machine using SSH 6. sudo killall -ABRT gdm-x-session The working GUI login prompt appears and lets me log in. I now have a crash report of this call to killall. Should I report it, and include its number here, as I did before? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764643 Title: Logout after console use freezes GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1764643/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
