[Bug 886580] [NEW] lightdm freeze

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Until yesterday I was using 11.04. Unity worked fine with GDM. Then I
installed 11.10.

After boot, lightdm puts up the greeter OK. If I select "Ubuntu-2D"
(Unity 2D) from the login box, then after a 30-second wait I have a
usable Unity desktop. However, the network indicator falsely states that
networking is disabled. If I log out, lightdm freezes (I get the text-
mode screen with "checking battery state" etc). When I examine the
process list, it seems that there are two lightdm processes, one of
which is preventing the other from restarting. If I kill them, lightdm
restarts.

If I try to log in using Unity-3D, however, there is a long wait before
the desktop appears. I get no launcher bar on the left - not even when I
press the "windows" key. Nor does the rightmost logout widget appear on
the top bar. I have a similar problem on logout - no greeter appears and
I'm left in an unresponsive text mode screen.

If I kill all the lightdm processes and start gdm, everything is fine. I
can start Unity-3D and indeed any other desktop with no problems. And
it's much, much quicker.
