Description Stephen Shaw 2007-08-25 07:10:01 UTC

After booting into XEN and logging into X.  Nothing but a grey screen comes up.  it seems to lock up the system too.  only reseting the computer works.  

If you log into the console first
go back to the gui
log into the gui, BUT as soon as you click the button you press crtl atl f2
then you can run top otherwise you have to reset the computer

running top shows that x is running at a 100%


running on a core 2 duo  2gigs of ram

/etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, please. Same problem without a Xen kernel?

Comment 3 Stephen Shaw 2007-08-25 15:34:29 UTC

no. It seems to work just fine without XEN.  Not sure what's going on. This worked just fine in beta 1.  You might not be that lucky to get log files on this one.  I have a really hard time trying to get to a console before it completely locks up the computer.  Sorry don't have a second one or laptop at home to try and connect with.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2007-08-25 18:11:46 UTC

boot into runlevel 3 to prevent X from starting.

Comment 5 Stephen Shaw 2007-08-28 20:45:21 UTC

This isn't when X is booting, its when I'm trying to log into gnome.  After I hit enter on my password, it changes to a grey screen and shows X using a 100% cpu.  This happened on my home computer, however I haven't been able to dup this in my lab here at work.  I'm going to reinstall beta2 at home to see if this was a strange one off problem.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2007-08-28 21:57:24 UTC

Just some wild guess. Did you enabel Xgl?

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2007-08-30 12:51:21 UTC

Stephen, still alive? If you think it's a blocker it also needs to be handled urgently from your side ...

Comment 8 Stephen Shaw 2007-08-30 13:50:56 UTC

Sorry, I'm been trapped between a couple things,  I'll try and reproduce it today, if not, then I'll move it done and/or mark it invalid.

Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2007-08-30 13:55:49 UTC

Thanks. But why do you change the status?

Comment 10 Stephen Shaw 2007-08-30 16:36:03 UTC

I haven't been able to reproduce it in my lab, I was almost thinking that this was  a bad install or something.

Anyways, this bug sounds very similar bug #300496
There is a log file in there too, so maybe that one will have some insight to the problem as well.
