[Bug 1453029] Re: Tried to login, GUI locked up. Did reboot & was presented with several messages : general protection fault: 0000 [#31] SMP

 

** Description changed:

- I noticed a problem last week where my GUI locked up while I was trying
- to unlock it.  At the time I was unable to get the system to generate a
- report or find anything obvious to me in the logs, though I am no
- expert.  I did manage to enable some more analysis tools for next time
- and it seems that next time has just occurred.
+ Today I tried to login to the system. The screen progressed passed the
+ password entry but failed to display the desktop background, the side
+ bar or the top bar. I left it for a few minutes while I got a coffee but
+ it was still in the same state when I returned. I managed to SSH in but
+ failed to do much else. When I tried to take a look at what was going on
+ with top I got a message about a Segmentation fault. I then tried ps and
+ the ssh session locked up.

- After the shutdown, I left the machine till 09:01 and powered it on
