Okay... this has happened multiple times. It's bad enough that I'm willing to bend over backward and collect whatever troubleshooting information is needed to figure out what's going on. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME Shell 3.4.1 (the one provided in the Ubuntu package repositories). The machine is a ThinkPad Edge E341. Tonight, I logged out of my user session, which took me back to the Ubuntu login screen. Then I reentered my password and log back in, and... the interface froze. It displayed the background wallpaper and the "Activities" bar at the top, but the interface was completely unresponsive to any keystrokes or mouse clicks. I had no choice but to kill the whole system (hold the power button down for several seconds) and reboot. Then, after rebooting and logging in again, **exactly the same thing happened**. Lather, rinse, repeat... finally the third login was successful. I try to avoid rebooting because of the wear on the hard drive, so it's somewhat less than enjoyable to have to do it twice in a row. What would cause this? And how to fix it? I'll do my best to provide additional info as requested. hjh _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
