Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I go to login to my machine to find the login screen frozen.
If I do ps aux | gdm I get the following:
root 8320 39.9 2.2 26924 21484 tty7 Rs+ Sep02 914:48 /usr/bin/X :0

again. (You can change consoles by pressing Ctrl-Alt plus a function key, such
as Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go to console 7. X servers usually run on consoles 7 and
higher.)' 16 70

I'm not sure why this is happening or what to do. Any guidance would be
much appreciated.
