MNLipp (or anyone else seeing a problem), can you confirm exactly what you saw when you did the case shown in the log?
The log shows that: 1. X server :0 was started on VT7 2. A greeter was started on :0 3. You logged in as mnl 4. The greeter on :0 stopped 5. mnl's session was run on :0 6. You switched to a greeter 7. X server :1 was started on VT8 8. A greeter was started on :1 9. You logged in as anl 10. The greeter on :1 stopped 11. anl's session was run on :1 12. anl logged out 13. X server :1 stopped 14. A new X server :1 started on VT8 (reusing the old name of :1) 15. A greeter was started on :1 So, from 1-6 you should have seen one X server running (:0) and from 7 onwards you should have seen two. Visually what you should have seen is: A. A greeter screen (authenticate as mnl) B. mnl's session (switch user) C. A greeter screen (authenticate as anl) D. anl's session (logout) E. A greeter screen I added more regression tests for this, and wasn't able to detect any left over X server processes on the 1.2 and 1.4 branches or trunk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005813 Title: Lightdm doesn't terminate alternate session login Status in Light Display Manager: Incomplete Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Choosing "Switch to different user" in Ubuntu gives you another login screen, which is very nice and useful. However after using that alternate session, lightdm keeps the X server and greeter for that alternate session open and running. Gdm, on the contrary, terminates the X server for the alternate session when you log out of it. This behaviour does make a difference when you run Ubuntu on a laptop on battery. Using the alternate login just once after boot (and ending the session again) initiates a constant cpu load of 1-2% (on my laptop). Doesn't sound much. But compared to "idle" without the second X server and greeter, this is an increase of about 75%. I admit that I didn't have the time to keep the laptop running idlely und doing some real battery measurements. But with a laptop on battery, you should use any possibility to save energy.
