I noticed the problem occurring again after the mythtv theme was changed from the black back to the blue theme. mythubntu is still running the black theme by default. when the problem occurs, I switch to a VC and run 'top', but it doesn't show any process consuming large amounts of CPU or RAM. -

Frankly, I had no idea it was a GTK issue. I get the same results as the reporter #203825, GTK stops my login screens from popping up. Interestingly, they /do/ pop up given enough time (~2-3 minutes at 100% CPU). I'll try to get a backtrace of my bug tomorrow, but I think the two can be merged. If

The effect is caused by .gtkrc included in our theme (located in /opt/cip...). I'm now circumventing it by using the gtkrc from the Human theme. To reproduce, you can use e.g. the gtkrc from the Glossy theme, under /usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. -- [hardy] GDM hangs on a black screen upo

I think I saw this, too. In my case, I could see the beige background and the circular timer mouse cursor spinning indefinitely. I went to a text console and ran top. I saw that gdmgreeter was monopolizing the CPU. I editied gdm.conf and switched to gdmlogin, restarted gdm and all was well (though
