I turned on my computer and logged in as usual. I opened some programs
and started writing an email in Thunderbird. Suddenly while I was
typing, everything disappeared and the login splash screen of Ubuntu
appeared again, as if I had logged out from gnome, which I hadn't;
furthermore it was instantaneous: it didn't even take the time it takes
to logout. In a nanosecond my screen was simply replaced by the login
screen. I logged in again but my session was gone, and all my unsaved
data lost. I even did a "sudo ps aux" to see if some of my processes
were still running in some limbo, just to see if the session was still
alive somewhere, but it wasn't.
I'm astonished. If such a thing can happen at any time, even if there is
one probability out of a million, this is a dont-even-consider-using-
this-software bug.
I post this in he hope that ubuntu-bug has automatically included the
relevant logs, as I have no idea where to find them.
I am 100% sure I haven't pressed any combination of keys (i was hitting
Enter when it happened) and I didn't click anywhere, as I was typing.
Even if there was a logout keyboard shortcut (which I don't think), it
should never ever logout without asking for a confirmation.
