Public bug reported:
This is the most strange bug I ever saw...
A friend of mine contacted me, that he cannot login to his gnome because the
gnome bar will not start up and all he gets is a blank screen - he has to do
init 1 and init 2 to circumvent this problem.
I got this problem too bug couldnt find a solution here but I think it's
connected to my main problem:
After waking up in the morning (my laptop is switched on at night - I never saw
this bug occur another time) then "sometimes" my wlan is diconnected and in the
past I didn't see another solution to reconnect but to restart my laptop.
But today I investigated further and found out, that I cannont start any
application except a special few like the calculator and inkscape!
If I try to start, say, gedit the harddisk will begin to work, the mouse
pointer will change but then nothing happens. I cannont start up a new terminal
but if I try to start gedit from a terminal I get nothing - not even an error
message. I even cannot quit the app with STRG+C!
Even in the console I can do some commands and others will simply hang
unresponsive.
I read that this kind of problem can occur when the loopback interface gets
disconnected by some error but I cannot restart it since ifconfig is one of the
apps that wont start.
I cannot even connect through ssh to this laptop because it looses all network.
I also cannot switch virtual consoles because the screen gets all black and I
have to use REISUB.
I'm eager to solve this bug so please tell me what command outputs you need to
have!
