[Bug 1042989] [NEW] X server hung with black screen after long inactivity

 

Public bug reported:

This is hard to reproduce, but it happened 2 or 3 times.

I locked my screen before leaving from work. When I returned to my desk
the next day, the screen was dark, with just the mouse cursor visible.
By the way the cursor shape changes when I move it around, I can tell
that gnome-screensaver-lock is still running. I do not have any

The desktop can be recovered by logging into a text console, killing -9
compiz and then restarting it with "unity --replace".

In one occasion, I had unity already running from the text console, so I
could capture the following output on stderr:

WARN  2012-06-01 20:47:24 unity <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: No
such interface `org.ayatana.bamf.view' on object at path

After compiz restarts, it produces a few more errors:
