Comment 7 for bug 267633

Hi there, I think it is impossible to describe this bug on a single bug per bug report basis. Could you please check out my post about BIOS settings being altered, possibly by are in relationship with the consolekit bug(s)?

The reason I initially described this bug as a potential security risk, is due to the fact that it did lead under a previous form to a freeze up of synaptic, leaving my password visible on screen for more than 2 hours (see slideshow).

Since this bug is difficult to invoke on purpose, but often occurs and leaves my system unrepairable about every three days, forcing me to reinstall without partitioning, I think it is better to bundle my experiences on the ubuntu forum first:
