Just ran into this behavior, and here's what I've learned today, mostly by trial and error:
The first boot after installation (of lucid alpha 2, w/network) seems unaffected (possibly because updated packages haven't come into play?) On subsequent boots, I can reproduce this on laptops with intel graphics, as well as those with ATI (radeon, didn't try any others) and Nvidia (nv and nvidia). I don't think this bug is specific to a particular graphics driver. I can confirm that any press of the enter key in X causes the freeze, whether of not it's before, during or after a login attempt. The freeze doesn't happen when sending enter/return from an on-screen keyboard, but does happen when using a thinkpad's built-in keyboard, as well as a USB keyboard. I'm going to scan the lucid-changes archives and see if can pin down what X related packages changed in the past few weeks, since this isn't happening in a fresh Alpha 2 install. -- [Arrandale] Freeze on login after update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
