This might look similar to the bug (not reported) I noticed after doing a fresh install of jaunty alpha 4 desktop on ADM64 on a 4GB core2 box. I'm not playing with GL, COMPIZ, didn´t even switch to nvidia drivers yet. Happens when going away for multiple days, after having locked things with vlock -a -s:
1st observation: Xorg presented me with frozen applications (possibly after killing any screen blanker in the way), with urxvt windows not showing text at all, but I still have a moving mouse pointer (though I am unable to change focus) and firefox is still being able to react on mouse clicks. Windowmanager is still metacity forced to a still-more- broken-than-before sloppy focus. --> as firefox is still partially accessible, it´s not an X-server-only issue, but different library stacks are also part of the bug. no chance but to kill X entirely. 2nd observation (while still being away at the moment): vnc just displays the dreaded black screen, only displaying the mouse pointer. (both before and after killing vlock). Nothing of interest in Xorg.0.log at all, except that my old logitech trackball (time to switch and reload NiMH cells, I´d guess) couldn´t be read. This trackball also was the one and only core pointer. The final lines in Xorg.0.log show the configuration of the trackball at time offsets 1, 27380, and finally the loss of the trackball at 36109). I´ll append more when I´m again in front of the console. Bug 338495 looks also like it might be related to X kind of freezing. -- X stops responting/updating, console switching still works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338495 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
