Package: base Severity: important Hi all
I didn't know where to report the issue and I have no idea where it's all about. So the info below is a bit random. My system is updated. After a recent squeeze update (last week), our system got a bit unstable. We cannot move to the virtual terminals by pressing ctrl+alt+F# (where # is 1-6); in fact we can, but we get a black screen and no prompt. But we can still have multiple graphical terminals at ctrl+alt+F8 and ctrl+alt+F9 when multiple users are concurrently connected. The screen got frozen twice (only on the physical monitors). The computer became irresponsive to keyboard and mouse input: pressing num- or caps-lock would not switch lights on or off. I can use gnome normally throught vnc4server (on a different virtual screen :5902). (There's no keyboard/mouse and no ctrl+alt+F# throught vnc though). Xorg (user root) was found to be using 100% of one of my CPUs when the computer was frozen. It first happened when the computer screen slept (and I thought it couldn't wake up), but today according to another user it locked while he was actively working on the machine. Just in case, I disabled some power management eco friendly options. Anyway, that does not justify the ctrl+alt+F# failure. We are using proprietary nvidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29 Sorry for the random bits of information, and any hints are welcome.
