Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
So, my X session suddenly became stuck. I was moving around the mouse cursor with the touchpad when it froze. I was using Firefox and about to click on a tab. I happened to have had an opportunity to log into this laptop from a desktop (via ssh) and poke around. I first killed the gnome-session. No go. Then, I tried killing "X". It wouldn't die -- a ps revealed "D", as in it was waiting on a device (it wasn't clear which device). I killed the parent gdm process, but X was still around and the screen still frozen. Since killing X was impossible (and therefore CTL-ALT-F1 not an option), I did a "sudo reboot" to reboot the system. I should note that I had logged off my session and logged on a few times. I don't usually do this. I was hoping to get the touchpad wheel scrolling to work better (it's too slow) in my VNC client, but logging off and on didn't help. (FWIW, I'm wondering if this is related to my previously reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/587668 regarding blank screen freezes.) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 $ apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: xorg 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-23.37-generic-pae 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-23-generic-pae i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Jul 3 06:11:01 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100213) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 064e:a103 Suyin Corp.
