When I log out of a session the system freezes. So far only a system reset will work.
Any ideas?

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
Can you be more specific? What actions did you take exactly, and what do you mean by "system freezes?"Slava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
I logged out of the session instead of shutting down or restarting. The KDE session shut down and the screen went black, a series of commands shutting down various services appear and the system stops. Pressing keys does not work. The screen stays just as it froze up.
Hope this helps.Comment

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
Would you try again, and when at the "froze up" stage, press and hold the Alt+SysReq keys, and while still holding those two keys, press and release in order, the following keys: r, s, e, i, u, b
This is the "magic key sequence" that will allow the continuation of a normal system shutdown when it appears that the system has become frozen.Slava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
This is not a system shutdown, only logging out of a user session. Does this still apply?
Also, will this be necessary every time?Comment

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
Ah. I don't have any experience with multiple users - I'm the only one on my laptop - so I don't have an answer to your question. Or am I incorrect, and you don't have a second user session running that you are logging out of?Slava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
I'm sure that I am the only user logged on (I have re-started the system and re-created the problem). The screen (After the system freeze) looks like the normal text (not GUI) version of a running script output to the screen (on start up or shut down) and does not respond to key presses or mouse movement.Comment

May I ask why you opt for Leave > Logout instead of Leave > Shutdown?Slava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
Okay. What does your system do if instead, you use the Leave > Switch User instead?Slava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
It was possible to initiate another session, log out of that session, and log back into my session. The computer ran real slow though.Comment

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
Another piece of information.
The following appears on the screen when the system is frozen:
SNIP..........................
Not starting K Display Manager (kmd-kde4); it is not the default display manager.
Starting TiMidity ++ ALSA mid emula.............[OK]

I think I would be filing a bug report on this at https://bugs.kde.orgSlava Ukraini! πΊπ¦

Re: System Freeze on Session Logout
After the upgrade, the login screen was Ubuntu. I had to change the default login screen. Is it possible the Gnome Desktop Manager is default and I am just starting a KDE session? If so, how do I change from the default Gnome to KDE?Comment
