Ok, the exact same problem has happened again. I haven't rebooted yet, and I'm willing to forgo rebooting this machine for an indeterminate amount of time, though I don't know how long before I'll really need my machine back. If somebody is interested in instructing me in what steps I could take to best provide debugging information for this problem, I am all ears. However, exploiting opportunity will require prompt attention.
The only GUI applications that appears to work is the file manager and Compiz. I can successfully start a VNC server and connect to it, however no graphics comes through the VNC connection, other than a mouse cursor. SSH access works fine, however. For starters, is there a way I can change process limits of a running process, e.g. /proc/PID/limits?, so that I might get some more core files? Is there some way I can do this through /proc/PID/? I say this because there is a visual difference on the screen of what happens when I start applications from the file manager versus starting applications otherwise. I am completely up to date, and have upgraded my kernel since the last time this happened in June. -- Most Gnome applications stop working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238507 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
