There doesn't seem to be an "edit" button, so I'll add details in comments as I discover them. In the situation described, the same thing happens if I use the command "logout" instead of "exit". In the error messages put forth by X (I presume) in tty2 while it was crashing in tty1 because I had just done "logout" in tty2, there was an oddity - it stated the time and date and the date was one day behind but the time was correct. I'm in the +5 zone but I suffer a government of idiots and who insist I "save" daylight by setting my clock wrong. It was nominally 2 pm here, but any way you look at it the date was the same at Greenwich unless I'm sadly confused. Under X the date was and is correct. I've now restarted X in tty1 (where it was to begin with - that's where Xenial puts X, not in tty7 as in days of yore) an logged in again in tty2. I did su (I'm a naughty boy - I enabled su) in tty2 got a root prompt, and then entered the command "exit". It went back to a user prompt and did NOT crash X in tty1. So whether "exit" makes X crash depends on the circumstances. I haven't studied "exit" but apparently if I've logged in as user and do "su", exit merely logs out root on the tty. But if I do "exit" on a tty when I'm logged in as user it seems it does something more and that something more is something X doesn't like. It didn't work that way in Trusty. Now I'm wondering if this is properly an X bug, as opposed to a bug in whatever "logout" and "exit" call in common. Or maybe in bash itself. I'd appreciate an opinion as to whether I should report this against a different package. Later, I'll tinker more, and post the log when I find it. For now, for anyone else annoyed by this, my insecure work-around is simply not to log out of ttys but leave them logged in. This is a security problem if you are in an environment where you lock your kb/mouse/screen with something like xscreensaver or xtrlock in that a logged in tty provides an opportunity for an evil person to shut off your screen locker or just do damage from the command line. Not much of an issue for me at the moment. If this problem leads others to this obvious work-around though, I could argue that it is a security issue. So should this bug be flagged as such? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659140 Title: x crashes when I log in and back out of a tty (console, cntrl-alt-F2 thing, whatever) Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Observed behavior: When I get an alternate tty, or whatever it's called, with cntrl-alt- FN, where N is any digit, 2-6, inclusive; log in as the same user on the console; do stuff; and then log out with "exit": I'm suddenly back in tty1 and X has crashed.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1562219] Re: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt
Uh, I wish I could edit my 2 posts above out. My problem was simple. After installing from the mini.iso, I was running an installation script that has a command of the form: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends package1 package2 package3 . . . It always worked before. But one of those packages no longer exists and apparently apt-get just doesn't anything on a list like that when ANY of them are missing. There was an error message but it only refered to the one package so I falsly assumed it was getting the others. So I didn't have openbox.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1562219] Re: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt
Me too. Under 16.04, 64 bit, with openbox, startx (or xinit) as user fails. Sudo startx gives me a console with a tiny font, so apparently it starts X but not Openbox. I'd explore that further and probably find how to start Openbox, but I don't want to run X as root anyway. I just tried sudo as a diagnostic experiment. I have another 16.04 64 bit system on the same machine using lighdm. That does boot and run openbox. That sys has OTHER problems I won't go into here, but it does prove the problem lies with xinit. Given all the OTHER problems with it, it also proves that 16.04 wasn't ready for release at all, let alone as an LTS. Maybe Canonical needs to reconsider the release-on-schedule policy and instead wait until they get through the alpha stage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562219 Title: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt Status in xinit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If as an unprivileged user you launch xinit (or startx) to any vt (EVEN IF UNALLOCATED BY SYSTEMD) it will fail as described below.

I should have mentioned that the system shows a lot of large print output in tty 7 as the system is booting and hangs at "started update UTMP about system runlevel changes." When I look in tty1 there is screenful of stuff and then a prompt, looking as if it had successfully booted.

Me too. Fresh install of 16.04 from the mini.iso. Used apt-get to install xorg, openbox and some applications. This always used to work. Now only root can start x. This is bare metal, not virtual. I tried installing first xserver-xorg-video-all and then xserver-xorg-legacy. Neither made any difference. This is a Samsung rv515 "laptop" (I'd say notebook).

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1314924 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314924
Toggling gfx.xrender.enabled didn't work for me. Same problem. Just started
happening sometime in the last week or so. Url field is a uniform black while
the search field on the same toolbar is normal. If I double click in the field
to select the text there it becomes visible If I press home or end to bring
the cursor to either end of the line it gets black on black again. This really
sucks. If somebody forks Firefox and makes a commitment to stability I'm out of
here. This bug du jour business is getting really old.
Firefox 36.0.4
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, 64 bit, built from the mini.iso without all the glitter
crap.
Plain Openbox, no further DE.
Nvidia graphics card.
AMD cpu, I forget the model, but dual core anyway.
4 giB RAM
I have 4 themes installed. The problem occurs on 3 of them:
Default
LCARSTrek
Penguin
It does NOT occure on one:
Metal Lion Australis
but that theme ignores much of my customisation of the toolbars and has
absurdly awful colors.
