[Bug 228324] Re: Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login
After an upgrade to intrepid alpha 4 this still occurs. To recap... When logging out OR clicking XDMCP in the gdmgreeter a blank screen appears with 5 lines of text and a flashing cursor, the text is as follows in Intrepid: *Starting System Tools Backends *Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron *Starting deferred execution scheduler ATD *Starting periodic command scheduler crond *Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support *Checking battery state On logout this disappears after about a second and I successfully arrive at the gdmgreeter. When clicking XDMCP in the greeter on the other hand the system frequently just gets stuck with this text on the screen and I have to turn the computer off and then back on again. -- Black screen hang on XDMCP login. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

thank you for your work on that, unconfirming for now since it has details but I don't know the gdm code enough to determine what could cause the issue, it's likely that upstream would have useful comments though if somebody is wanting to forward the issue to bugzilla.gnome.org ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 228324] Re: Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login
I tried installing the hardy-proposed update to GDM https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/229866 but the problem remains. The only change is that with the XDMCP crash, the text is no longer displayed, it still hangs, but now at the usual light brown screen with the mouse pointer visible. About the logs, sorry, didn't realise I had to enable debugging. I'm attaching excerpts from my logs with debugging enabled. Syslog on logoutLogin is for the text thats appearing between gnome and greeter. Syslog on logoutXDMCPhang is for the hang that happens with XDMCP from the greeter. ** Attachment added: "syslog on logoutLogin" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14512868/syslog%20on%20logoutLogin -- Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

there is nothing in the log about gdm, does enabling the debugging option make it list something? -- Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 228324] Re: Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login
Whenever any of the 3 issues occur this text is displayed: "*Starting anachronistic cron anacron *Starting deferred execution scheduler ATD *Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support *Checking battery state *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" Just below that the cursor is flashing. So just to reiterate this is always displayed with no hang on logout; it is frequently displayed with a hang when going from the login screen to XDMCP; and is rarely displayed with a hang on shutdown. I've attached my logs. I tried logging in and logging straight back off again at 10:44 May 14th (so this was when the text was displayed, but the PC didn't hang). At about 10:48 I then logged off and clicked options and XDMCP. The text was displayed but there was no crash this time. So I clicked cancel and tried options XDMCP again, this time it did hang, as usual with the text and flashing cursor. I waited a while and eventually pressed power which made *Stopping Gnome display manager appear, and after a short delay the PC shutdown successfully. Then I rebooted to write this! I haven't been able to reproduce the shutdown hang for awhile, as I said it happens very rarely. ** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14511772/syslog -- Hangs at running local boot scripts on shutdown and XDMCP login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228324 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Do you also get the occasional hang on shutdown and text displayed on logout?

I do experience the same problem and hope there will be a solution within a reasonable time. Smooth XDMCP logins are very useful for professional environments.
