Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 on a Compaq Proteva PC. All software updates have been applied as of 10-26-2007 12:00 UTC.
I have an intermittent gdm freeze-up which occurs unpredictably. Everything during the boot proceeds normally until just before the moment where the main Ubuntu login window would appear, after which the swirling 'busy' icon freezes, the screen goes bank momentarily, followed by a screen full of alternating blue, green, and black vertical bars.
The system hangs in this state and never recovers. No Ubuntu login bongo sounds are heard, and it is impossible to drop down to a command prompt via Ctrl+Alt+F*. The only remedy I've found so far is to to a hard reboot, switch to recovery mode for kernel 2.6.22-14, type "sudo shutdown -r now", reboot again, which always results in a successful loading of gdm.
On the Ubuntu forums someone mentined I should post the output of /var/gdm/0:.log. Here is the output from that file immediately following the crash:
