Both Installations are up-to-date. To do a user switch I hit e.g. <Ctrl+Alt+F2>, login as e.g. burdi01 and issue "startx -- :1". Initially both "A" and "B" gave a black screen without even a cursor. I then hit <Ctrl+Alt+F2> followed by <Ctrl+C> to get out. Some googling told me to comment out the "xfce" and "xubuntu" lines in /etc/upstart-xsessions. This "resolved" the problem for "A", but not for "B". The ~burdi01/.xsession-errors file showed: >> libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied >> libGL error: failed to load driver: r600 Some googling told me to make burdi01 a member of the video group. This eliminated the r600 messages, but did not resolve the problem. The ~burdi01/.xsession-errors file now reads: >> Xsession: X session started for burdi01 at za mrt 22 18:55:10 CET 2014 >> localuser:burdi01 being added to access control list >> openConnection: connect: No such file or directory >> cannot connect to brltty at :0 >> Script for ibus started at run_im. >> Script for auto started at run_im. >> Script for default started at run_im. >> Script for ibus started at run_im. >> Script for auto started at run_im. >> Script for default started at run_im. >> x-session-manager[3689]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry.... For as far as I can see there is nothing special in the syslogs.
