** Description changed: Binary package hint: plymouth - Pressing the enter key causes the whole system to freeze. The system - still respond to ssh. + Pressing the enter key sometime during the first X session after boot + will kill X and gdm will restart. Subsequent logins will work fine. On + investigation, this occurs because X is being sent SIGQUIT (see + http://paste.ubuntu.com/382615/ - using trace-signal.ko). After X is + killed it starts on a different VT and will no longer be sent SIGQUIT + when pressing enter. + + It seems that other distributions are working around this by starting X + on a different VT to plymouth. + + Original description: + Pressing the enter key causes the whole system to freeze. The system still respond to ssh. It does not happen on every boot, but a visible screen corruption in the top left side of the screen is a symptom that the crash will happen in that session. Note: This is not a duplicate of bug #516412 as stated by Steve Langasek in the comment #78 there. WORKAROUND (thanks to Simon Baconnais): kill X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Print+K fixes the problem until the next reboot. Some also may want to remove the plymouth package until this bug is fixed.
