[Bug 126797] Re: gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system
We still have this problem. It is especially apparent for us because we have 25 machines running folding that students use and sometimes reboot into Windows. Folding slows the logout process significantly, and during this time gdm comes back up and you can log in, however, the machine is still in the process of logging out and when it finishes roughly 90 seconds later it reboots, regardless of whether someone has logged in or not. It seems to me the problem is caused by killing gdm on logout instead of stopping it. -- gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126797 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

Has anyone had a chance to test this? Is the problem even still an issue? It's gotten to be too late to push this for Hardy but if it still occurs I'll queue it to go in for Intrepid. If no one responds with test results within a couple months, I'll assume the problem has resolved itself and we can close this bug as out of date. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Incomplete -- gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126797 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

I've packaged the aforementioned patch here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/gdm/ Basically it just adds a couple sleep()'s, which does seem a tad hacky, but seems to be a fairly safe way to workaround the problem. The potential downside could be if it lengthens the restart process noticeably.

In case it helps anyone to reproduce this issue, I've run into this problem using Gutsy in a virtual machine running on VMWare Server.

[Bug 126797] Re: gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system
We need to step this bug's priority up big time. With gutsy a few days away from release we'll have many people upgrading from feisty to gutsy, and they will experience this problem as well. I had this problem after upgrading from feisty to gutsy yesterday. I have my box set to automatically log me in, so it goes through the login process, and then dies when the system kills the remaining processes. I'm wondering if this only has to do with the people that upgraded from feisty though. -- gdm spawns a new X server when told to restart the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126797 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
