Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Ubuntu 8.04 (fresh install with all updates up to the date of this bug
report) hangs upon login (right after submitting the password). The
desktop background can be seen as well as the top bar (empty) and the
mouse can be moved, otherwise the system is unresponsive
(Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace don't work. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+B
does reboot the system though).
This happens on a machine with a GeForce 8800 GTX GPU and restricted
drivers enabled. When using the default drivers the problem does not
appear.
One workaround is restarting X while at the login screen
(Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). This will temporary fix the problem for that
session (you would need to repeat this step upon reboot) and will allow
the desktop to load correctly.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
