My system specs: * Ubuntu 8.04.1 Gnome with Compiz Fusion enabled * Installed NVIDIA packages: - nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45 - nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu8
When I switch user on Gnome and then subsequently logout from it to go back to the original user desktop, I get the white screen, which appears to be related to the gnome-screensaver. My solution: 1. Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to virtual console. 2. Login with the same user account as the session with "white screen". 3. Run command: pkill -9 gnome-screensaver 4. Press CTRL-ALT-F7 to switch back to original session... the "white screen" should be gone. Hope this provides more info about the issue. -- Switch User freezes at blank screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112518 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
