Ubuntu 11.04 Auto Logoff and Hanging Issue

[anuraggautam]

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 my laptop starts hanging after lock the screen & also some time it is getting log off automatically while working.

It is really strange as all the work is getting lost in mean of working, is some one has faced such issue.

What is the probable solution for this, any idea ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

[eyekone]

With nothing running but Firefox, I am randomly logged off. No errors or warning just just an immediate logout and the GDM comes up for login.

[e_torano]

Same issue here. Running the 64 bit version on a HP G62. Had this issue ever since I upgraded.

[pionshivu]

I am facing same problem. It is logging me after every 10 mins.
Is there any setting to correct this issue?

[ThatCoolGuy220]

same here thats why i downgraded

With nothing running but Firefox, I am randomly logged off.
Happens here too sometimes, when I am using Unity.

even i have the same problem everyday after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04. any updates for this? :D

I am also having the system hang after the 10 minute screen lock comes into play. Not sure if this happens every time but it has occurred at least 3 times. Upgraded from 10.10 a week ago. I tried to run the previous version but it never started up either.

[e_torano]

Just to note that it doesn't happen every time for me. It seems to occur entirely randomly (I've checked to see if there are any extra processes running when it does happen and there doesn't appear to be).

[yolen]

I have the same problem. Logging out randomly. Losing my work several times

Happened after upgrading from 10.10 -> 11.04.

I am not running unity

[geovem]

The same here, since I upgrade to 11.04 this problem in constantly happening, each time I see a new upgrade coming I hope this issue would be resolved but no luck so far

[anuraggautam]

same here thats why i downgraded

How to downgrade from 11.04 to 10.10. Seems there isn't any solution available for this issue.

[Spartako]

Hi, all!

I have the same strange problem (suddenly computer closes active session with all programs and goes to login screen), but it happens only in determined situation: when I'm starting video player, start playing video and then move player window! It's really weird, cause I can't find any error in syslog... :confused:

[anuraggautam]

Any one found solution for this issue ?

[hashanga]

[herophuong]

Same thing - random log off when I start a video on Youtube (or so I believe). Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity, Adobe Square Flash Player.

Does it to me if I just try to adjust the volume.

[hardikp]

I am facing the same random auto-logout issue on ubuntu 11.04(ubuntu-classic). I hope someone quickly finds a solution, otherwise I will shift to fedora.

[didg69]

+1. Same bug. Is there some record in ubuntu bugs database ??

[cmanfu]

I'm also having the same problems. It will just happen spontaneously, last happened while I was in Google Chrome.

Seems like a serious problem, have any of the ubuntu dev's chimed in?

[santhosh.p]

does any one got the solution for auto log-off? please share to solve the problem

[anuraggautam]

Have any find solution for the same ?

i have problem with hanging . sometime my mouse won't work and sometime keyboard . i can't figure it out what's going out. I'm starting to miss 10.04 :((

[ggtsu]

I am having this issue on my dell inspiron 1420. I just upgraded to 11.04 and never had any problems like this before. It is happening both in unity and gnome. This is maddening. I can't get any work done!!!

From what I've read in the bug reports, lots of people seem to think this is related to chrome, but I don't think so. This has been happening to me regardless of what I am doing. It's probably about to happen right now. If this continues, it looks like I'll be downgrading.

+1. Same issue here. I have found that whenever this happened, Google Chrome was running. Couple of times, I was able to SSH into the box from a different machine and kill google chrome and it fixed it.
I do have the problem of getting logged out/reboot sporadically too.

[digitography]

I saw this on another forum

Try disabling the screensaver.

Just passing it on, so don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't solve the issue.

[kandisa]

I have the same problem :(
Whenever I am using Chrome, Ubuntu automatically logoff :(
any help :(

[jlhqc]

It seems the bug is registered here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/783002

It would be nice if you could tell this bug is affecting you too, and you could comment on it.

I have this bug too, and it's VERY annoying!

[IShotTheSheriff]

Same here, happens occasionally when using Chrome.

[thunderboltz]

Happens to me as well. Way too annoying and I lose all my work as well!
I notice this to happen mostly when I am using Chrome.. but then I always have Chrome open.

[n.l.o]

Hello,


I got this today too... I have no idea what happened. Anyway, I run Ubuntu Classic, logging into a Unity session from time to time. When I run "compiz --replace" in my Ubuntu Classic session, it seems to get better, I think. Could anyone else try and see if it helps?


Cheers
Magnus

[vratnica]

Same here.

Man, this discussion is taking place since May, and still not a single TRY of a possible solution!

Amazing!

[mvidberg]

This problem is happening on my home desktop computer but NOT on my work desktop computer. Both have about the same specs, nvidia graphic card and running the lasted updated 11.04. The logout seems to come instantly at completely random times, not when I'm in any particular program so I can't see a pattern.

[kosmo.de]

I've found the problem I had!
It was somehow connected with video output issues, so I followed the guide from
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-video-playback-problem-in-compiz-fusion.html
and now I can view videos without any problem!

[anuraggautam]

Any idea, how to solve this issue, have anyone able to solve this ?

[shevin]

I have the same problem but for ubuntu 11.10 (I upgrdaded frmo 11.04) and I have 64bit ubuntu

[jcneto]

Same problem here with 11.10... but I realized that this only occurs when I'm using Firefox.

[garolou]

Same thing happened using a live CD. Funny since I never had the problem using the installed version on the same computer.
