[Bug 546578] Re: black screen after a few user switches
I had a similar bug: switching to a new user display a black screen with only the mouse cursor. I can switch to the text consoles (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) and to the first X session. But it looks like the second X is mixed with the first one. I can see the user selector a few milliseconds before the first X session is displayed if I switch to F8. And I have the black screen with mouse cursor on F9. My Lucid 10.04.1 system is an upgrade from 8.04. It looks like the use switching applet is the source of the problem (in my case). Removing ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* to reinitialization the gnome configuration solved the problem. The old (and problematic) user switching applet was the one with the green running man. The new (and working) user switching applet has a power sign as icon. -- black screen after a few user switches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 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 546578] Re: black screen after a few user switches
I am exeriencing the same issue - with the exception that both the keyboard and mouse go dead as well. If there is another bug report the more closely matches my symptions, please advise. Steps to reproduce: 1. While logged in as user A, System|Log Out username|Switch User 2. Login to user B, ensure all is working properly and logout from user B. - screen goes black - keyboard no longer works - mouse no longer works 100% reproduceable. However, I can: 1. ssh -X into the machine w/o issue. I can bring up gui's from the affected machine (i.e., gnome-system-log, vino-preferences, etc). 2. remote login to the machine via VNC and get a screen; however I then get multiple tserver instances have to kill it. 3. reboot the machine from the remote ssh. Attempted to use 'apport-collect 546578' to supply additional info, but response was that I wasn't a subscriber to this bug (I am) and the report was a duplicate (it isn't).

Incidentally, I can demonstrate this quite reliably on my Intel box by doing xgamma -gamma 0.5 from within my X session whilst it is active, then switching to a VT and doing DISPLAY=:0.0 xgamma -gamma 1.0. On karmic, the gamma goes back to the correct value in my X session on the inactive VT, but it stays at 0.5 on lucid despite the X calls completing successfully (note, this tests the XF86VM gamma fade only).

@David: Since I removed the gnome-screen saver it did not happen again. So it seemed to help. What I am now experiencing is a screen going blank in idle although it is disabled in the propertys (screen comes back by mouse movement or keystroke, I think this might be related to the fact that I removed the gnome-screensaver). And another really funny thing: my mouse pointer is gone after suspend. I can move the mouse and click on things - I just cant the the pointer. oO I have to admit most things worked totaly fine with lucid - until i put in my ssd and did a reinstall. Since then I have the weirdest issues :-? -- black screen after a few user switches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 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 546578] Re: black screen after a few user switches
Hey all, I'm having this problem on my EEE PC. I want to add that I have 2 users on my system and they both have the option Password: not asked at login. Steps to reproduce: 1. Log in as user A 2. Quickly switch to user B. 3. Switch back to user A. I get a blank screen. CTRL+ALT+F1 does not do a think. I need to hard reset the netbook. -- black screen after a few user switches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 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

I am not sure if I have the same problem but the result looks similar. I just reinstalled lucid on my z61m with an ati x1400 build in. After a couple of hours the screen gets blank and I have to do a hard reset. This happened to me now two times while I was surfing. -- black screen after a few user switches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 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
