Bug Description

NOTE: This crash only happens during session logout, at which point it is fairly irrelevant. Apport presents the crash at the start of the next session, which might falsely suggest that the crash happens at session start.

Binary package hint: policykit-1-gnome

Crash occurred shortly after a gnome session login (following updates during the previous session), and followed an expected UbuntuOne crash.

Low priority, as this only seems to happen on logout. Seb and I had a quick look at the code, and there's nothing obvious sticking out, so this requires some in-depth debugging. It's not easy to reproduce unfortunately.

Well, since I have now seen about 5-10 different instances of what seems to be this bug over the last week, it seems on my system it is rather reproducible. Is there anything else I can do to help get it fixed? It is rather annoying - at the moment my wife also regularly uses the laptop, so we log in, then out, and the other's session is stopped with the crash.

So, if I can do something to debug this better, I could see how far that goes?

desde q actualice a 11.04 tengo esta falla asi q decide compartirla con ustedes... gracias x la ayuda q puedan prestarme.

Solucione el problema de la siguiente manera:

1 desactive el docky
2$ gtf 1280 1024 70

 Esta linea de comando me arrojo algo parecido a lo siguiente:

# 1280×1024 @ 70.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.00 kHz; pclk: 96.77 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_70.00" 96.77 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 900 -HSync +Vsync

Luego de Obtener los datos para agregar a los modos de Pantalla procedemos a agregar este modo en el siguiente Archivo (esto es solo un ejemplo cada quien debe poner exactamente los datos que arroje la linea del gtf segun la resolucion que escogieron):

$ sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default

Luego de estar abierto agregaran las siguientes lineas justo antes de exit 0:

/usr/bin/xrandr --newmode 1280x1024 96.77 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 900 -HSync +Vsync

/usr/bin/xrandr --addmode DVI-0 1280x1024

/usr/bin/xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024

ya de esta manera tenemos la resolucion deseada de Nuestro Escritorio y no hace falta estar ejecutando las lineas en cada reinicio...

Nota: Cabe destacar que use DVI-0 ya que es el dispositivo DVI el que tengo conectado al monitor, puede que ustedes tengan que colocar VGA-0 o VGA1 o DVI-1, todo depende de cual sea su caso...

Luego de guardar el archivo simplemente con un:

$ sudo reboot
 y al reboot ya todo estaba resuelto...

Perhaps a silly thought, but I've not seen this for quite some time after switching to the Classic w/o effects DE.

I'm embroiled in other things ATM but it may be beneficial to ask those effected to try different DE's, maybe even 'unity-2d'.

Just a thought.

Natty Narwhal beta testing. Ran update manager and rebooted, logged in and noticed my theme was broken. Checked updates (which was too quick,) and rebooted again. Got this error upon running update manager.
Regarding the quickness: Update-manager used to download 13MB of update cache, and now it only downloads 2KB before stating there are no updates available. Either the update system has been redesigned to need less data to update the cache (if so, nice job!) or something is very wrong with it.

The system always crashes ever since I have updated from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04. The system crashes varies from PolicyKit Gnome component to Squid packages, claws-mail, and screen savers, and freezes video to any form of You Tube file. This system update to Ubuntu 11.04 is very deplorable and terrible in terms of performance issues and reliability. I firmly believed that Ubuntu development team rashes this version 11.04 without testing the entire systems thoroughly.

#134 indicates that #6 is the reason for marking as wontfix and not open to SRU.

#6 just says that it happens on logout.

Actually, this is a particularly egregious and annoying bug.

It happens on shutdown too.

It means that a laptop will lock-up, and you need to forcibly power it off, and then wait for a fsck when next starting.

The condition for this bug to be triggered is:
 - install updates that require a reboot
 - perform the reboot via the menu
 - wait for machine to lock-up
