Hmm, I'm still experiencing gdm restarts during some upgrades; the last one was today, when upgrading from gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu14 to gdm 2.28.0-0ubuntu17. I believe the HUP from the postinst file could be causing this, but as I don't want to reboot my computer again, I shrink from trying it:
PID=$(status "gdm" 2>/dev/null | awk '/[0-9]$/ { print $NF }') [ -z "$PID" ] || kill -HUP $PID What makes this even worse is that after gdm is restarted, neither the mouse nor the keyboard are working anymore. The only escape is rebooting the computer via Alt+SysRq+RSEIUB. -- kills X session during upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395302 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
