[Bug 579313] Re: X crashes after pressing enter or 2 in 10.04 final release

[Eliah Kagan]

The information I had posted here was based on Timo Aaltonen
(https://launchpad.net/~tjaalton) having marked bug 798509 as a
duplicate of this bug. Since bug 798509 is about the Oneiric-specific
issue where X terminates when 2 (on the alphanumeric portion of the
keyboard) or enter (either enter key) is pressed, it seems to me that no
*new* bug has to be reported; that bug could simply be unmarked as a
duplicate of this bug.

Based on Steve Langasek's post
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/579313/comments/22),
I have done just that--bug 798509 is no longer a duplicate of this bug
(and I have added lightdm in Ubuntu as having bug 798509). I have posted
there to explain this, and I have also subscribed Timo Aaltonen to this
bug and both developers (Aaltonen and Langasek) to bug 798509, so that
everybody knows what's going on, and nobody feels like they are being
ignored. I apologize if this action (subscribing both of you) is
inappropriate.

@Eric Appleman
I do not believe that the problem in Oneiric is actually a crash, per se--as explained in bug 798509, inspection of the dmesg on my machines doesn't reveal one, nor does inspection of the contents of /var/crash (both inspections conducted after X terminates). But by all means, if you're able to produce a crash related to this, please post about it. Or perhaps you just mean that you're going to try to get this problem to occur on an Oneiric system after selecting "Try Ubuntu" in the graphical ubiquity-dm menu. In any case, please note that since Steve Langasek has indicated that the problem in Oneiric is a different bug from this one, you should probably subscribe to bug 798509, indicate it affects you, and post any relevant results there, unless that bug gets re-marked as a duplicate of this one.

  This bug looks like the bug #532047 in beta-1. I have installed Lucid
  Lynx final release (system is fully updated right now) and this bug
  persists :-( Whenever I boot and press <Enter> or <2> X crashes and
  restart, It's annoying !
