I agree with owen, above. When the login screen appears, the boot sequence may still be going on in the background.
The end of the boot sequence is signalled audibly with the drum sound (provided, of course that you have sounds on), so the system knows perfectly well when it is done booting. Perhaps the "Login" button on the login screen should simply be kept disabled until the boot sequence is completed? There's no harm in letting the user type in the username and password while the boot process is still running (I do that all the time); it's just that the user should not hit the "Login" button until the computer is fully booted up (I have gotten into the habit of waiting until I hear the drum sound, and only then hitting "Login"; I haven't had any problems since). -- When logging on power manager fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
