Bug#619457: More information

[Paolo Scarabelli]

I have more information on this bug.

1. First I have to correct my previous update, the line:
2.6.38-1  Always crashes
Should have been:
2.6.38-2  Always crashes


2. Since I last reported the bug, both kernel, xorg and
gnome-settings-manager have been updated but the bug is still present
and GSM crashes every time shortly after login. Here is the versions of
the packages:
gnome-settings-daemon_2.30.2-3_i386.deb
linux-image-686-bigmem_2.6.38+33_i386.deb
xserver-xorg_1%3a7.6+6_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.14.0-4_i386.deb


3. I found a way to prevent the crash most of the times:
  a. Login on gnome as usual;
  b. As soon as gnome starts loading press ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to a
     text only console;
  c. Wait until gnome finishes loading (Until the hard disk led
     stops blinking);
  d. Switch back to the graphic console with ctrl+alt+f8;


Thank you,


Paolo.
