I started having such a problem today, notably gdmgreeter is hanging with 100% cpu usage.
An easy workaround was moving /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter out of the way and restarting gdm with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart -- gdm hangs after theme upgrade and reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210538 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
