Title:
12.04 black screen with blinking cursor when switching users
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When switching users on 12.04 it will sometimes just go to a black
screen with a cursor. The user switching to is not logged in yet.
Expected behavior:
Click current user up top> from the drop-down click the user wanting to log
in > brought to the lightdm log in screen and log that user in
Instead:
Click current user up top> from the dropdown click the user wanting to log in
> brought to a black screen with a blinking cursor
From here, you cannot type or initiate any keyboard shortcuts other
than Ctrl +Alt+F(1-6) to reach tty1 etc, or Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to
the user that you were originally trying to switch from. Ctrl+Alt+F8
will bring you back to the black screen.
This happens pretty often so I should be able to test anything needed.
Thanks!
