Which apps are you running when you log out?
Hi. I finally find that it seems have something with rp-pppoe. To reproduce it: 1. Create an ADSL network device if there isn't one. Let's suppose you name it MYADSL. 2. Active MYADSL using "System Tools -> Network Device Control" 3. Run Galeon or Mozilla, load www.gnome.org. Note this step is very important. If you ignore this step, system hange will not occure. 4. Close the browser. 5. Log out gnome desktop. 6. System hanges. Don't know what components it really belongs to.
Hi. The problem has gone after I updated the system today. The kernel is updated to 2.4.18-17.8.0
I think this to be a problem with gdm. I experienced the same problem using gdm and kde as my desktop. When I added 'DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"' to /etc/sysconfig/desktop the problem went away.
System hangs are inherently kernel or XFree86 bugs. Other programs don't have access to the hardware that would allow them to hang the system. Since kernel upgrade fixed the original report, closing. Terry if you can reliably reproduce with latest updates then perhaps file a new report, ideally with information on your hardware and other configuration details.
