I have found a workaround for this problem. First, I have verified the following through experimentation: -I cannot get kdm to start on vc/tty8, period. This I do not understand, as I have never seen anything running on tty8 (checked with ps aux). -When logging out a second user, the screen always switches to tty<current>-1, regardless where the first user's X display is running.
Given these facts, my workaround is to make the first/original/primary kdm start on tty9. That means that a second user's display will be started on tty10, and I have verified that logging off the second user returns the screen to the first user's display on tty9, as expected. To use this workaround, change the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as follows, then restart kdm: old: ServerVTs=-7 new: ServerVTs=-9 -- Switching users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
