Also, same outcome if I lock the terminal and instead of unlocking I choose switch user.
Only way to switch user is to log out then log in as new user which is not always the best thing under the circumstances of this particular situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247189 Title: Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm using a freshly installed Ubuntu 13.10. As soon as I click on a different user I want to switch to in the gearbox menu I get a black screen and nothing else is happening. I'm still able to SSH to that box and top does not show any process taking 100% CPU. Alt+sysrq+b is able to reboot the system. I had no problem like this with Ubuntu 13.04 on the same computer.
