please provide emerge --info, (works for me otherwise) do you have stuff like consolekit or pam_console installed ? I suppose from reading your comment that this happened when you updated to a newer version of xorg. Did you manage to narrow down your problem to a specific package ? please provide emerge --info, (works for me otherwise) do you have stuff like consolekit or pam_console installed ?

emerge --info
pam_console is not installed.
consolekit is installed, but I don't know if I am using it or not.
Output from eix:

I don't know how to narrow down the problem. It certainly did go wrong when I upgraded xorg. Confirming this with: x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r2 x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3 ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS Noticed hangs a month ago when upgraded xorg-x11 from 7.2 to 7.3. Upgrade to the latest gnome (2.20) and masked xf86-video-ati make no difference. In other words - gdmflexiserver ,that is called by fast-user-switch-applet hangs machine. I can confirm that the symptoms are exactly the same as if one ran "gdmflexiserver" from a terminal window. Is this therefore instead a gdmflexiserver bug? James: xorg-x11 downgrade to the 7.2 state makes this bug dissappear no matter if it is gdm from Gnome 2.18.x or 2.20.x series (for downgrade workaround, please look here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-598895.html ) However, would you, at this state, gather and attach at this bug report /var/log/Xorg.0.log log file after you ssh to the machine. Maybe this may reveal something. Thanks. Created attachment 133995 [details]

I don't think the Xorg logs show anything useful. This is indeed a problem of gdmflexiserver. "New login in a Window" doesn't work either. It started with the upgrade of xorg to 7.3, it occurs with gnome 2.18 and 2.20 (amd64). My gdmflexiserver doesn't work either. As an update, we are waiting on xorg-server-1.4.1 before investigating this further. Chances are that it will just be fixed with it, as 1.4 is having lots of issues in these fields (which is also one reason why xorg-server-1.4 isn't stabled yet). If the issue remains with 1.4.1, that is coming out this week, we can investigate further. Is this still a problem with xorg-server-1.4.0.90? with gdm-2.20.2 + xorg-server-1.4.0.90 and latest fusa, everything works for me. Mart: xorg-server-1.4.0.90 fixed this, as you predicted, for me too. Thanks for watching this out! May I ask you all to test if adding fast-user-switch-applet (as part of all this user-switching) to the panel works? I am experiencing crashes and there is upstream bug report with patches included that solve crasher: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485158 (In reply to comment #17) > May I ask you all to test if adding fast-user-switch-applet (as part of all > this user-switching) to the panel works? I am experiencing crashes and there is > upstream bug report with patches included that solve crasher: it should be fixed already in 2.20.0-r1 I can now switch between users without the screen hanging. A cannot seem to do this though: Right mouse click on panel->Add to panel and select "user switcher". It just never gets displayed. So, I suppose I am half way there now. Gilles: yes, the latest -r1 revision made mentioned bug in #17 disappear. Thanks! This now works: Right mouse click on panel->Add to panel and select "user switcher". Solution: install gnome-extra/fast-user-switch-applet-2.20.0-r1 then logout, then back in again. One can then add the "user switcher" to the gnome panel again. I believe this is now fixed. |
