Same here (fully update Saucy, no ppa's, default repos), I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add a bridge for an interface that was already in /etc/network/interfaces (not managed by network-manager). After running service networking restart I had a grey screen with a black square in the middle. Restarting lightdm from another tty failed and Xorg was labeled defunct in process list.
Only a reboot fixed it since I couldn't kill xorg. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235516 Title: service networking restart causes Xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1235516/+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
