Hello, thank you for your quick response. It seems very similar to the following bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477795
so I assumed it was a gnome session bug. however, it might be an Xorg crash. I did not yet look into the xorg logs. How do I do this? I'm very new to linux and the ubuntu community, but I would like to help out as much as possible. -- Logging into already logged in user (after switching users) causes user to log out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607543 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
