The information I had posted here was based on Timo Aaltonen (https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton) having marked bug 798509 as a duplicate of this bug. Since bug 798509 is about the Oneiric-specific issue where X terminates when 2 (on the alphanumeric portion of the keyboard) or enter (either enter key) is pressed, it seems to me that no *new* bug has to be reported; that bug could simply be unmarked as a duplicate of this bug.
Based on Steve Langasek's post (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/579313/comments/22), I have done just that--bug 798509 is no longer a duplicate of this bug (and I have added lightdm in Ubuntu as having bug 798509). I have posted there to explain this, and I have also subscribed Timo Aaltonen to this bug and both developers (Aaltonen and Langasek) to bug 798509, so that everybody knows what's going on, and nobody feels like they are being ignored. I apologize if this action (subscribing both of you) is inappropriate. @Eric Appleman I do not believe that the problem in Oneiric is actually a crash, per se--as explained in bug 798509, inspection of the dmesg on my machines doesn't reveal one, nor does inspection of the contents of /var/crash (both inspections conducted after X terminates). But by all means, if you're able to produce a crash related to this, please post about it. Or perhaps you just mean that you're going to try to get this problem to occur on an Oneiric system after selecting "Try Ubuntu" in the graphical ubiquity-dm menu. In any case, please note that since Steve Langasek has indicated that the problem in Oneiric is a different bug from this one, you should probably subscribe to bug 798509, indicate it affects you, and post any relevant results there, unless that bug gets re-marked as a duplicate of this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579313 Title: X crashes after pressing enter or 2 in 10.04 final release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/579313/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
