Title: Unable to switch between users, system hangs on logout Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using Ubuntu 13.10, Unity, lightdm, nVidia drivers. I added a second user account, after the first time switching between users, user switching just stopped working. If I use the menu and just select another user, most often nothing at all happens. If the screen is locked and I push the switch user button, it looks like it tries to go back to the login screen, but ends up coming back to the lock screen. For a while I could log out of one user, then log in as another but now that isn't working either. Selecting logout from the menu will bring up the little logout or shutdown thing, then after I select logout nothing seems to happen. If I open a terminal and type gnome-session-quit it says something about how its not in a running state. I currently have to restart the computer to switch users, which is really frustrating. 27 Feb 2014: It gets stranger. I got stuck at the lock screen again and selected switch user, with no result. I tried to use Alt-Ctrl-F1 to go to a different terminal, and I got screen corruption at the top with a kindof mangled blinking curser, but if I typed it andded mangled text-mode text at the top, but it also still showed in the lock screen password text box. If I entered my password it unlocked back to my session. None of dmesg, Xorg.0.log, or lightdm.log seem to show any errors, but I'll upload lightdm.log. --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-01-04 (54 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: lightdm 1.8.4-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-17.31-generic 3.11.10.3 Tags: saucy third-party-packages Uname: Linux 3.11.0-17-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1283580/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
