[Bug 397333] Re: [Jaunty] The first login fails randomly

[Tommi Mikkola]

Apparently, Murphy's law has been confirmed once again. After filing the
bug, the behaviour has turned to be random and I am unable to
systematically reproduce the behaviour. The summary and the description
has been updated accordingly.


** Summary changed:

- [Jaunty] The first login fails if lid has been closed during previous shutdown
+ [Jaunty] The first login fails randomly

** Description changed:

- If the lid of the laptop has been closed while the system is shutting
- down, the first login on the next startup shows the startup console for
- a brief moment and returns the user to the Gnome login screen. On the
- second attempt the session is loaded successfully. If the lid is kept
- open until the laptop has been shut down, on the next startup the
- session is loaded successfully already on the first attempt.
+ The first login on the startup fails randomly. After the username and
+ password has been typed in, the startup console is shown for a brief
+ moment and the user is returned to the Gnome login screen. On the second
+ attempt the session is loaded successfully.
  
- This is reproducible every time. I have not experienced similar
- behaviour on either Intrepid or Hardy on the same hardware. It seems
- that the closing of the lid prevents the system from shutting down
- cleanly.
- 
- Workaround: Keep the lid open until the system has shutdown.
+ This behaviour is random and does not occur on every startup. Initially
+ I suspected that this is related to the closing of the lid of the laptop
+ during the previous shutdown. It seemed after some testing to be
+ reproducible, but after filing the bug the behaviour has become random.
+ I have not experienced similar behaviour on either Intrepid or Hardy on
+ the same hardware.
  
  I have attached some information I suspect is relevant, but I am happy
  to provide any additional information which might be useful.
