Please see attached files from the affected machine. The bug still happens 100% of the time with evolution, thunderbird is ok. Sometimes the screen is painted partially or fully black except for the toolbar a few seconds after launching evolution. The mouse and keyboard are unresponsive.
I tried it once more after removing nullmailer, (I didn't need it, and it wasn't set up properly and was leaving a lot of messages in the logs) and saw the desktop is solid black after starting evolution except for the title bar, with its open system monitor windows not updating. This time the cursor responded to mouse movement, but clicking on anything or typing <CTL><ALT><BS> to restart X failed. The other other similar behavior I have discovered is with the screensaver - I don't know if it is related, but when the screensaver activates the machine does not respond to either keyboard or mouse and must be rebooted. Also, the System->Preferences->Screensaver window cannot be closed, and the window does not respond to mouse clicks. I must kill the screensaver setup window with the "force quit" item I added to the toolbar. I was going to file this as a separate bug, but maybe the root cause of both is something wrong in the X server that evolution is simply triggering. I have never seen <CTL><ALT><BS> fail on me before.... ** Attachment added: "Message log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23458263/messages -- Hard hangs desktop on launch (Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
