--- Comment #4 from Neil Rickert
From a second computer, I opened two ssh connections to the test machine. In one of those, I ran "top". In the other, I ran a root shell.
At the gdm login screen, I used CTRL-ALT-F3. The mouse pointer dissappeared and "gdm" stopped responding to keyboard entries, but the screen did not otherwise change. In particular, there was no switch to a virtual console. Checking from the other computer, I saw that the load average had shot up to 2.03 on the top session. I could not see any high cpu use process, but I'm not sure whether top itself was now crippled. On the root shell screen, I tried "shutdown -r now". I got a message about "polkit" shutting down, but nothing else happened. In particular, the system did not shutdown. I had to use a forced power-off to accomplish that. In response to #c3 -- yes, a switch to virtual console from within a KDM session is fine. I presume it is also fine from within a Gnome session. I am guessing (but did not test) that it fails within a Gnome-wayland session. I'm guessing that this is a Wayland problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
