[Bug 529882] Re: user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha)
The logs look all good, I can't see an obvious error there. (There's unfortunately some noise, since the old gdm and X logs weren't cleaned up before). The first X.org continues to run, but the second starts up and shuts down again. Unfortunately there's no error message anywhere. zvaral, after you try to switch users, you said that you land in a virtual terminal with text output. Are you able to switch back to your original GNOME session with Ctrl+Alt+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+F8? If so, does it work if you do Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in as that other user you were trying to switch to (gabi?) and run startx? -- user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529882 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
[Bug 529882] Re: user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha)
The problem step by step: 1. After booting up I can login and start up some applications (firefox, xterm, etc.) 2. I Change the user by clicking the switch off button (up-right corner on the upper panel) and select an other name 3. I find my self on a gdm login window where the selected user's password has to be typed 4. After typing the password gnome-session starts and I can use this user's desktop. 5. After launching some applications (firefox, image viewer, etc.) I choose log out from this user which should result in a return of the previous user (or to the locked screen) but a blank screen appears. With the latest updates I do not get any text massage or similar just a black screen with the pointer I can move around but I can not do anything. 6. Trying to switch to a virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.) the pointer disappear but the screen is still black without any possibility to type login information. (Of course, I can type the authentication blindly and run for example, sudo reboot, which will reboot the machine showing it works properly but the screen is not OK.) Switching back to X (Alt+F7) the small arrow shape of the pointer can be seen again and able to move it but the screen is still totally black. 7. This is the reason I connected the machine remotely. Network connection works but the screen can not be seen. When I logged in from an other computer and killed gdm it restarted properly and the gdm login screen appeared again. I try to test this issue further and find relating information or any error and I will report them later. -- user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529882 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

The information could be collected using remote login to the crashed machine. The requested logs and other outputs are attached in the tar gzipped file. I must note that I do not experience this bug when I switch the user and switch back in every case but when firefox is running this bug is usually occurring. The crashed computer could be repaired easily by killing gdm remotely. ** Attachment added: bug_rep.tgz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43786662/bug_rep.tgz -- user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529882 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

[Bug 529882] Re: user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha)
Thanks for the gdm logs. It seems gdm has some difficulties with ConsoleKit, but I'm afraid I need more details, at least the ck-list- sessions and ps aux output. If other people want to provide information, here are instructions how to collect everything interesting: * Open a Terminal and do echo 'rm -r /var/log/gdm/* /var/log/Xorg*' | sudo -s * reboot * log in as one user * attempt to switch user You should now be on a black screen, as reported. Press Control-Alt+F1, log into the text console, and do ps aux /tmp/ps.txt who /tmp/who.txt ck-list-sessions /tmp/ck.txt 21 sudo tar czvf ~/logs.tar.gz /var/log/gdm /var/log/Xorg* /var/log/kern.log /tmp/ps.txt /tmp/who.txt /tmp/ck.txt The press Control-Alt-F7 or Control-Alt-F8 to get back to your original session (if neither works, just restart the computer with Control-Alt- Delete), and attach logs.tar.gz here.

Unfortunately, this issue is still exist. I recollected some information logging in remotely to the computer which leaved a black screen (without any additional text). Previous attachments relate to this action. What happened: I switched user successfully used the computer and logged out after.

Martin, could you please take a look? I'm thinking of you because it is user switching related.

I'm putting this in GDM so it goes on the right path. Indicator session just asks GDM to switch to the user. So it seems this is likely to be a GDM bug. ** Package changed: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu) = gdm (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ted Gould (ted) = (unassigned) -- user switch crashes with process termination (lucid alpha) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529882 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
