Sorry if the grammar is bad. Hi, I write because I have a strange problem in my Xubuntu. Everything worked wonders, until I changed a simple configuration that changes the look when one is entering its user. In applications, I went to the configuration settings-manager, I entered a "boot image" and choose a (Balou) (since before he had another, and then had disabled the option of animation). Then, when you restart your system and then put username and password, I could see that he was entering the desktop, but at the stage "starting desktop manager" was branded the computer and is seen to be the hard drive does not stop working (for the LED the front panel of the computer). Retry to enter my user restarting the graphical environment (which took longer that the computer was being ticked) and rebooting the computer, but there is no case, the problem remains. So I decided from the Welcome screen to enter safe mode, but the console does not appear to know what to do. So the solution to the problem. I explain a bit: In the path \ home \ French \. Config \ xfce4-session (where "French" should be replaced by the user name) is the file "xfce4-session.rc," which contains the settings on some features for example the "splash screen", the feature that gave me problems when trying to enter my user. Without splash screen file looks like: [Splash Screen] Engine = [General] SessionName = Default SaveOnExit = false Despite the fact that I had no problems activating other Splashs, when activated by the "Balou", to re-enter my user, the computer stopped responding: [Splash Screen] Engine = Balou [General] SessionName = Default SaveOnExit = false The solution: to simplify and not have to use the console much, I rebooted with a live cd of ubuntu, I remembered that in gnome to break into root must write in console "sudo nautilus" I modified the file and said, removing "Balou" of the line "Engine". In addition, the doubts removed by an associated file that must have been created to set an image logon. This file is in the same folder and is called "xfce4-splash.rc." Then I rebooted, I entered my username and everything to normal! All that we got compared to another user on my computer files. "Config". With respect to that splash ¿defective?, I find it very strange because with the others I had no problem, and the installation of Xubuntu was successful and has all the patches for correction of errors. I would appreciate very much if I replied. and I will be happy if my report is beneficial to the community.

Still not reproducible on karmic with xfce 4.6.1, no more feedback for several months, closing. Feel free to reopen it if you can reproduce this issue on karmic.

I managed to find out that it has to do with sessions. If I delete the contents of the $HOME/.cache/sessions directory or have never saved any session, the bug is reproduced. Here's a better steps-to-reproduce: 1) Delete all the files from $HOME/.cache/sessions. 2) Set the splash image to balou. 3) Log out but make sure xfce does not save your session 4) Re-log in, wait a few seconds and the system stops responding -- Xubuntu 8.10 balou splash image makes the system unresponsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319676 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

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for the upstream bug, too!

[Bug 319676] Re: Xubuntu 8.10 balou splash image makes the system unresponsive
Thanks for reporting this bug, but we need a some more information. Can you please tell us release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd'. Also, the version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic. I have tried to reproduce this using both the latest development version, Jaunty 9.04, and Intrepid 8.10. I can not reproduce it using either of those, so perhaps it is fixed in a newer version of Xubuntu. ** Changed in: xubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Xubuntu 8.10 balou splash image makes the system unresponsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319676 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
