Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Hi,
found a problem that arouse recently with both Gutsy and Intrepid (worked some
day last year in gutsy):
When configuring a custom command in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom in the
[customcommand] section via CustomCommand[0-9]=/some/command (tested with own
shell script, and with /usr/bin/yes) gdm crashes when the command is picked
from the actions-menu. It shows the ubuntu splash screen, but nothing happens.
Attached the syslog with debugging enabled for gdm.
However, the command is executed (/usr/bin/yes used one full CPU).
There is an easy workaround: If you enable the CustomCommandNoRestart option
via adding
CustomCommandNoRestart[0-9]=true (default is false)
to gdm.conf-custom, gdm does not crash anymore.
If you need more information, a backtrace, tests on vanilla Ubuntu
installations or whatever, don't hesitate to ask
Thanks,
Mika
