[Bug 516412] Re: Pressing <Enter> causes X to freeze

[RichardNeill]

I'm seeing this on Oneiric (64-bit) with Xubuntu. I have a very
repeatable test case:

1. Reboot.
2. Wait for autologin to occur.
3. Press enter on desktop.
4. X will crash, and I get dumped back to password prompt to login.
5. Then it works ok till I reboot again.

I tried the recommended suggestion of removing plymouth, but it isn't
possible to do that in oneiric without removing the entire base-system.

Incidentally, I'm using a Lenovo S205 laptop, which has a radeon GPU but
where I have NOT installed the binary driver, and the bootloader is
grub-legacy (grub-2 won't work with EFI).

Title:
  Pressing <Enter> causes X to freeze

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I am running ubuntu 10.04 Alpha2 and after last nights updates
  pressing the enter key causes the whole system to freeze and I have to
  hard reboot.

  Only removing Plymouth would allow me to work normally.

  The system still respond to ssh.

  WORKAROUND (thanks to Simon Baconnais): kill X by pressing
  Ctrl+Alt+Print+K fixes the problem until the next reboot.
