Update on 12.10: it's not just keyboard-unusable, it's also mouse- unusable. I just tried failsafe-x on my desktop system running 12.10, and it is completely unusable. X works perfectly on this system, my mouse is hooked up and working fine, everything is good. Details...
Steps to reproduce: 1) logout of X session 2) login on text console as root 3) "service lxdm stop" (or whatever your display manager is) 4) "service failsafe-x start" Expected behaviour: * initial dialog (acknowledge failsafe mode) is both keyboard controllable and mouse controllable * second dialog (choose action) is both keyboard controllable and mouse controllable Actual behaviour: * initial dialog works just fine * neither keyboard nor mouse works to control the second dialog When I move my mouse around, I do see flickering in that second dialog, like when you mouse over different GUI widgets and the focus highlight moves around. But the mouse pointer is invisible, and I cannot figure out a way to click on "OK" or any of the radio buttons. And the keyboard does nothing. IOW: I see the exact same behaviour on my desktop and laptop running 12.10. I've recently installed 13.04 on my laptop, so I'll try it there next. ** Summary changed: - friendly-recovery: failsafeX dialog is not keyboard controllable + friendly-recovery: failsafeX dialog is completely unusable -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdiagnose in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169004 Title: friendly-recovery: failsafeX dialog is completely unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiagnose/+bug/1169004/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
