I too experience this issue in a production environment with NFS4 mounted home directories and autofs in Karmic 9.10 with all the latest updates.
If a user logs in with GNOME and later logs out, subsequent users attempting to log in (with GNOME, KDE, etc even terminals) experience a hang instead. The solution in that case is to kill e-d-s processes, and in some cases kill anything using files in /home and restart autofs. This is a serious problem for me if users have trouble logging in like this. Here is the evolution process I see when I use "lsof | grep home" to see what is accessing the home directories (username removed): evolution 10673 USER 24u REG 0,26 12288 1262460 /home/USER/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db evolution 10673 USER 25r REG 0,26 196 1262461 /home/USER/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db.summary So at least in my case, access to the address book in evolution is never given up, causing problems for subsequent logins. There are users who use Evolution, so uninstalling it might not be an option. -- evolution-data-server's process still here after logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299649 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
