Hello, The old server I originally encountered this issue finally succumbed to age and is no more. Since then, I have built a new server. I tried to reproduce this issue on both my desktop and my server.
The desktop is running a fresh install of 9.04 and I am not able to reproduce the issue there. The sudo process does not even appear in top or in gnome system monitor which is not the expected behavior (but is desirable I suppose). The desktop does not lock up. This is the same behavior I had on my desktop originally. Very surprisingly though, (or maybe not) I am still able to reproduce the issue on my server which is running Ubuntu Server 9.04 64-bit with X and gnome installed. The original problem was also on the server version of Ubuntu. Maybe that is why people recommend not running X on a server? :) It's a little different now in that I am able to switch to a VT via CTRL+ALT+Fn, login, kill the process, etc. whereas before this did not work. Other than that, the session is frozen just like before. -- adding "sudo" before command in launcher in gnome panel freezes X session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
