[Bug 49594] Re: Ubuntu 6.06 (amd64), users can't login after restart.

[Rouben]

It would seem like a quick workaround for this would be to have some
sort of "sanity check" script that kills hanging process(es) left over
after a crash. At the very least bonobo-activation-server, since killing
it seems to resolve the issue.

** Changed in: Ubuntu
Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-session
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu 6.06 (amd64), users can't login after restart.
+ Users can't login after session crash

** Description changed:

- After the first sucessfull login, if restart the computer then you can't
- login anymore, your login name/password are accepted (by gdm) but when
- gnome must load the graphical interface stops and don't load gnome. I
- can login in a tty or by ssh. I can restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) but i
- get the same problem (the system accepts the login/passwd but no desktop
- appears). I've restarted many times but all the users that have logged
- in at least 1 time can't start the graphical session anymore.
+ After the first sucessfull login, X is restarted using
+ Ctrl+Alt+Backspace or due to a crash, then logins don't work anymore.
+ The login name/password are accepted by gdm but gnome hangs on load
+ after the login. This does not affect TTY or SSH logins. Restarting X
+ again with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but the issue persists. All the users
+ that have logged in at least once can't start the graphical session
+ anymore.
  
  I inspected many log's (/var/log/messages /var/log/syslog) but i can't
  find something that explains this.
