Bug Description
Binary package hint: consolekit
***
This bug is not a duplicate, since it involves the 2.6.27-2.3 kernel, 8.10 alfa 3 (4-5?), synaptic crashing, gnome-terminal crashing, and a near total Desktop freeze up after executing gdb on the gnome-terminal pid. But most importantly, my sudo password was displayed on screen for more than 2 hours. So please consider adjusting importance level to high.

Hi there,
This bug can be a serious security thread as shown in my slide show. My sudo password is displayed in the terminal for 2 hours, before I trigger a crash. So please block this out before this report is made public. The slide show is made of chronological screenshots and should be self explanatory, if not just ask me.

Note to bug team. I have asked several questions to the bug team but I have not gotten sufficient feedback yet. I will sum it up once more: I do not know when it is useful to file a bug. I prescribe now to any bug I find or report a new one with every new title. I do or do not report a new one with any new release? I mean 8.10 instead of 8.04, not different alfa's. I cannot attach crash files to a bug report, but without filing a new bug, I cannot add any system data to a bug report either. Should I consider filing a new bug for any incomplete or invalid status? I have installed gdb, but I do not know how o use it. I get something like this:

I understand you are all busy with alfa 5 and pre-beta know. But here is a tip to make your and my life easier:
Two choices:
1) Ask me to file less bugs.
2) Give me a little feedback on this note.
I am currently encountering about 10 new bugs a day, of which at least 2 or 3 new ones. So it could be worth an education attempt, since alfa 5 will give me more of this I think. Is there a tutorial that covers it all and is understandable to a guy like me, who has zero IT background?
I have found the following instruction pages:

I have experienced a crash or bug on every bug report I filed or am subscribed to. If there is an urgent one amongst them, please contact me for info. Especially these ones: # 254238 # 246067. I would like to do a new install on VirtualBox 1.6.6 under 8.10 2.6.27-2.3 of 8.04 with my old APTonCD. If it works I will have the ability to merge this with my current APTonCD for 8.10, which has less applications on it. Could you people give me a gdb terminal command and the proper debugging packages to download? This will give me feedback about the two bugs mentioned here.
