>From a look through the forums, it looks like whenever gdm starts up, X crashes and the user is back to the GUI login window. A reinstall fixed the problem, so an update to gnome-screensaver is suspect.
One user seems to have connected the bug to running 3d screensavers. Can anybody duplicate this without a 3d screensaver? It also looks like there are a lot of NVIDIA cards in that thread. Can anybody replicate this bug without an NVIDIA card? Also, please provide the version of gnome-screensaver you're using, by posting the output of `apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver` ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-screensaver Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Ubuntu Dapper screen saver crashes X server https://launchpad.net/bugs/79160 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
