## Log: soon Thanks @smcv for your feedback.
I believe ubuntu-bug used to automatically attach a number of log files automatically, it appears it did not this time. Bug happens several times a week. I have captured a log. ## Workaround! I wanted to test if running another X session would work. One session type available in lightdm greeter is "xterm". So I chose that. Session opens okay and shows xterm. So, X itself is not affected. I then typed "startxfce4" in the xterm. * xfce session started quickly but something was different in the appearance, as if the screen DPI was slightly changed. * xfce4-terminal showed slightly different font. Still "Envy Code R", but different rendering, off-grid. Checking in xfce4-appearance-settings, font hinting parameter was turned off, which was not the usual settings. Setting it back using xfce4-appearance-settings got usual font back in xfce4-terminal. * thunderbird shows slightly bigger fonts than usual. I cannot compensate this exactly with xfce4-appearance-settings. dbus-daemon now runs for the user. # Conclusion (1) affected user can still run XFCE, but through a xterm session first. (2) changing title, because affected user *can* run an X session, just not XFCE session from regular lightdm. ** Summary changed: - Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing session does not help as affected user cannot open a successful X session until next reboot. Other users are ok. + Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE session shows dbus error, xterm session can run startxfce4. Other users are ok. ** Summary changed: - Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE session shows dbus error, xterm session can run startxfce4. Other users are ok. + Unlocking existing session yields black screen. Closing then reopening XFCE session fails with dbus error. xterm X session + startxfce4 works. Other users are ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779667 Title: Unlocking existing session yields black screen.
