Can't log out from gnome session in Edgy

[Mikko Saarinen]

This happens frequently, but not always, I think...

When I try to log out from Gnome session the machine freezes. Both panels get killed, and all applications are closed, but I am not given the login screen. All that can be seen on the monitor is my gnome wallpaper image.

The mouse cursor can be moved, but Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. doesn't do anything. The only thing that works is the power button, which causes the system to shut down gracefully.

Selecting Shutdown or Reboot instead of the Log out works just the way they should.

Thank you for your bug. If Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't do anything that's not likely to be a GNOME bug, rather an xorg or linux one. Do you have any error to /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog?

[Mikko Saarinen (mikk0)]

Both /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog doesn't show anything of interest. If I knew how, I could raise the detail level to debug. I don't remember how to do that, though...

Anyhow, in the attachement you find logs from both syslog and messages. The steps taken are:

08:41 log out (from gnome panel)
          ...system freezes with only wallpaper and mouse button shown...
08:56 quick press on the power button
          ...normal shutdown...
08:59 start the machine again

Marking unconfirmed, maybe somebody facing that problem can try tracking the bug

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you still have the bug with Ubuntu 7.04?

[Mikko Saarinen (mikk0)]

No, it seems I haven't faced this one in a long time.

Sorry that I forgot to mention about this earlier. This could be marked as rejected and we have one bug less to worry about =)

Closing the bug then, feel free to reopen if that happens again
