sorry .. the problem still remains .. so forget my previous posts :( It seems a problem of memory: if I switch without any app opened everything go right, but if just open some firefox wins and a openoffice document and then try to switch get the blank screen ..
I tried to use the User Switcher panel applet, instead of the Indicator Applet Session as suggested here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/546578 and that seems to work with all desktop effects turned off. However even in this case if I close all the user sessions through the User Switcher panel applet the gdm panel is no more shown and can only press ctrl+f1 login and write sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to get it. -- black screen when switching between multiple X session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
