Confirm that I have the exact same bug, running latest Hardy Heron 8.04 with ATI X300 open source ati accelerated driver (desktop).
As numerous people have stated before, running gnome-power-manager through Alt+F2 or Terminal prevents the hang up. It seems to be an issue with how gnome initiates the power manager for the first time -- Quit button freezes screen but does not present Log out etc. options dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150846 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
