I know this is suggested as a duplicate of bug #532047, but this one seems more
closely aligned with the behavior I'm experiencing. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
64-bit on a new System76 Serval Pro (serp6) laptop. When I boot up, I can login
and have anywhere between 5 minutes and an hour of normal activity before I see
a blank screen, and then the login screen again. If I login again, I never see
another X reset until I boot. BTW, I'm fairly certain that this reset has
almost always occurred when I press Enter, but I can often press Enter hundreds
of time without a reset, but then it will happen eventually (if it's my first
login after a boot).
After an initial boot up and first login, I'm always on VT1 or VT2, and
I'll always get the X reset eventually. After logging in a second time
(or if I just logout and login again after a boot), I'm always on VT8
and I never have an X reset.
On VT7 (Ctrl-Alt-F7), for both first and second logins, I always see an
error like this:
(process:516) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user
id (0)
I've tried adding APT source ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and reinstalling my
nVidia (current) driver, as suggested in this thread on the issue:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1545846
No change. I also tried the "temporary workaround" in bug #532047 --
sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth-splash.conf /etc/init/plymouth-
splash.conf.disabled -- no change.
I've spent many hours on this and would love to see it go away. BTW, I
have nVidia current drivers with Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my Dell Vostro
1510, which never has this issue--always login to VT7. I would be super
appreciative if anyone has any ideas or if I can provide any further
information. Am I commenting on the right bug (I read through a bunch,
but this one seems to match the symptoms)? Is this bug still going to be
looked at, or should I also comment on another bug? Thanks in advance
for any help!
