@Dino
Could you attach the output from ps as Jamie did? If it starts happening again perhaps you can do the same again during a session you expect to crash?

@Jamie and Dino
Could you look again at that file creation time?

sudo ls -l /var/run/gdm/firstserver.stamp

It should exist and be empty, it's its creation/modification time that
is important. It should be created the first time gdm starts at each
boot, which is what Jamie reported above. It must not exist before gdm
starts. If it is older than the last boot there may be a problem with
the /var/run file system.

@Jamie
That ps.out file floored me. Unless I've misread the code, it looks to me like you and Dino have two different underlying causes for this bug.


By the way, I assume anybody who has this bug can log out immediately after first logging in and won't have a subsequent crash.
