GNOME login hangs
Last modified: 2006-01-24 20:45:30 UTC
After booting the machine, the GNOME login session did not come to an end. After "zapping" the X11 server, the second attempt to log in suceeded. See list of processes (attachement) taken while the system seemed to be hanging.
Created attachment 57228 [details] process list(s) while waiting for GNOME login to finish
I see nothing obvious in the process list - are you able to replicate this?
I cannot reproduce (yet), because I don't logout/login too frequently, and I'm also not rebooting that frequently: reboot system boot 2.6.13-15-defaul Mon Nov 14 08:15 (07:15) reboot system boot 2.6.13-15-defaul Mon Oct 24 09:27 (18+05:44) Could it be that GNOME waits for some process to finish (suspecting evolution hanging processes), and if such a process hangs, GNOME login hangs? From the GNOME control panel's "session" settings I see that many applications are started with same priority.
Evolution won't block the logout. And yes, GNOME could be waiting, but I've only seen this problem before with yast.
