I can confirm this bug. Switching users when compiz is enabled crashes the xserver.
Reproduceable steps: login user A switch to user B enter password at gdm for user B switch back to user A HALT This is happening to a lot of users: see also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/46018 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/64023 I am using an nvidia card, but one of these bug reports is about an ati card. They also specify it does not happening when the users use metacity. One of the bug is incorrectly marked as a duplicate of an ati crash. The common factor in my experience and these bug-reports clearly is compiz-fusion. They also both specify (like in my experience) that logging in to another user through GDM does not crash the system. So i'm re-opening this bug. And marking the two other bugs as duplicates of this one. Can someone please verify that compiz+fusion with gutsy + fast-user-switching-applet works for them ? And if so, what is the graphics card used? -- Switch user crashes system. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
