Re: debian testing amd64: X windows trouble after todays updates. (gdm problem?)
I switched between xdm and gdm, and the problem with unresponsive window manager and locked in focused window seems to go away with that, though I am not totally sure. Inbetween, it worked with gdm for a short time, but on the second try I started a terminal window and iceweasel/firefox in quick succession from the panel, and afterwards could not switch or move windows or use the panel again for some time. Now I have configured xdm as default window manager and until now there have not been any problems. The virtual console problem is still there, I guess there is some problem with the 16:9 geometry there, but I have no idea where to start searching. -- peter koellner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

debian testing amd64: X windows trouble after todays updates. (gdm problem?)
Hi! I am running a lenovo thinkpad T510 with debian testing. after doing a maintenance package update today, I discovered that the gnome desktop locked up frequently. That is, the current foreground application still gets mouse and keypoard input, but window manager and gnome panel funcionality went dead. Occasionally responsiveness came back, but I could not really reproduce that. Next thing what happened was when I switched to console I discovered that the console ran out a few lines at the bottom, so I could not see the current line. I guess this is a different problem not necessarily connected and could be older since I did not use console mode for a couple of weeks. After doing a few reboots and trials I switched gdm over to a twm session. TWM got the same problem, locking me in after opening an xterm, which I could not even resize afterwards. After a while and some random key/mousebutton combinations, it worked again for some time but not for long. I could not reproduce the circumstances of failure, but apart from the xterm window itself the window manager does not seem to be responsive. Unfortunately the thing is conected via WLAN and this Gnome network thingy does not bother to start the connection from console, so the laptop is now disconnected until I figure out how to configure wpa_supplicant again without that gnome-based stuff.. Basic data: uname -a Linux kropotkin 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 25 18:02:11 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci tells me: VGA: nVidia Corp. GT218 [NVS 3100M] Display size: 1920x1080 nvidia-kernel-2.6-amd64 version 195.36.31+2 nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-amd64 version 195.36.31+2 all the other nvidia modules show version 195.36.31-6 In top, I see Xorg at 85% CPU usage, twm around 40%. After leaving xterm, twm seems to want to place some new window i cancelled long ago. It seems that Xwindows switched to modal windows somehow... then I have shut down gdm and started X manually from console by startx. This seems to work even with gnome so I suspect it might be a gdm problem. I can provide more details as soon as I have the laptop itself reconnected to the net. The effect started after updating packages about four hours ago. I am not sure which package is the culprit, but it has to be a recent change somewhere. I'll now put together the list of installed packages. and more information. So where should I go next to report the problem? Replies to me in CC. please. -- peter koellner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

GDM problem
Hello all Started up my PC and X seemed to have started up twice, then I got a message saying "You seem to have already a X server running on :0, should I try starting up in that window or should I not do this?" and I see there's 2 or 3 instances of X running so I kill them all. But GDM won't start properly - it seems to try and start up several times. So I stop GDM, kill all instances of X, log in using the command line and start X using "startx". It hasn't done this before. So what am I doing wrongly and how do I fix this?

Are there any reports of problems in XFree86 or gdm log files? If nothing is reported in logs, you could possible enable debug in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and check what is reported in syslog. -- Jerome pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

X/gdm problem
I am using X4 from woody and gdm. Sometimes when I log out of GNOME I get the greyish screen and gdm doesn't reappear. If I log in to a vc I can restart gdm and everything is fine, but I am the only user of the system who can restart gdm. Has anyone else seen this or know how I can determine the cause? I see nothing in the /var/log/gdm/ files and nothing in the syslog. Thanks, -D
