Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 4 and downloaded all the latest updates as
of yesterday, 27 August, so the gnome-session version is
2.19.90-0ubuntu2. I was about to shut down my PC, but before I did so I
opened "System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Session Options" and
enabled "Automatically remember running applications when logging out"
so that session saving was enabled.
Then I shut down. Ubuntu didn't shut down properly, the GNOME Panel and
applications disappeared, but the wallpaper on my desktop background
didn't and kept being displayed. I waited a while, but after a few
minutes I hit the reset button because Ubuntu had obviously frozen.
After starting up again, I logged in from GDM (without changing the
session, so by default I was logging in to the "Last session"). After
entering my username and password, GNOME didn't load. It crashed to a
black screen, with my mouse cursor still visible and responsive. I hit
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to kill X and return to GDM, there I chose the
"Failsafe GNOME" session this time, and logged in succesfully. However,
if I try to log in to the "GNOME" session again, it still produces the
same crash.
