So as not to lose this possibly useful snippet: If my password contains a numeral the crash happens as soon as that numeral is typed; otherwise the crash happens when I press Enter. E.g "my2pennies4" causes the crash when I press "2" whereas "letmeinnow" doesn't cause a crash until I press Enter.
I'm wondering if this might be caused by the automatically detected input devices? $ egrep '(Adding input device|PreInit)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) config/udev: Adding input device "Video Bus" (/dev/input/event6) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "Sony Vaio Keys" (/dev/input/event4) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "Power Button" (/dev/input/event1) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" (/dev/input/event3) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "PS/2 Mouse" (/dev/input/event7) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "PS/2 Mouse" (/dev/input/mouse2) (EE) PreInit returned NULL for ""PS/2 Mouse"" (II) config/udev: Adding input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (/dev/input/event8) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (/dev/input/mouse3) (EE) PreInit returned NULL for ""AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"" (II) config/udev: Adding input device "Macintosh mouse button emulation" (/dev/input/event2) (II) config/udev: Adding input device "Macintosh mouse button emulation" (/dev/input/mouse0) (EE) PreInit returned NULL for ""Macintosh mouse button emulation"" -- Xorg crashed at first login attempt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 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
