[Bug 787821] Re: Random X server crashes on keypress using natty

[Steve Langasek]

No, this is not a re-emergence of bug #532047.  Something is causing X
to be started on VT1 where it never should be.  However, the submitter
suggests this is related to disk encryption; I'm using crypted disks
here and have never seen this problem with natty.  Someone needs to
reproduce this and work out why X is starting on the wrong VT.

Title:
  Random X server crashes on keypress using natty

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I'm on Natty 64 bit and I'm experiencing "random" X crashes on
  keypress.

  The bug surely happens on pressing enter or "2" (i don't know about
  other keys), however it does not happen on the first time they are
  pressed but randomly.

  When X restarts on the terminal a bunch of characters appears as If
  some keycodes where misinterpreted and echoed back to screen (note
  that the characters are not the ones on the pressed keys).

  I'm using LVM with encryption and proprietary Catalyst drivers on a
  switchable graphics (Intel / ATI) configuration.
