Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
When I boot an up to date maverick laptop, I am presented with the gdm screen. If I press enter or click on a user, gdm restarts. After it restarts I am able to login normally. This happens every time.
X is starting on the correct tty (tty7), and getty does not seem to be involved.
After X has quit, some text of the form: “^]888888888888
X is getting sent SIGQUIT when the user presses <enter>.
****************** PLEASE TRY THIS WORKAROUND *******
open up /etc/init.d/apache2 in a text editor with root powers:
gksu gedit /etc/init.d/apache2
Then comment out the call to stty sane like this:
#stty sane
Save and reboot.
