Maarten, This actually makes lots of sense. I had it happen again last night, and after checking logs, it was indeed Xorg losing control of direct rendering. I can move the mouse around the black screen, and watch the cursor change as it goes over links, and various other things, and I can still type in whatever window was active I just can't see any of it. Even dropping to TTY1, the mouse cursor is still visible, and keystrokes still get dumped to the active window, even though I dropped to another tty. Also I am on Intel hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247189 Title: [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1247189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adam Niedling, thank you for your comments. Regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1247189/comments/7 : Are you being serious? It was reported 1,5 months ago. Last activity was 16 days ago. Do you want me to test the upstream kernel daily or what? When it was reported, and last activity are not relevant data points here. I would like you to test the daily release and perform the apport- collect as previously requested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1247189/comments/6 so that your hardware information may be gathered. This bug affect the latest stable version of Ubuntu and it is still a bug. Just to clarify, which one specifically? What makes you think this is a kernel bug anyway? As you noted, your Ubuntu freezes completely, which would indicate either an xorg crash, or kernel call trace. This has yet to be determined. It is not happening if the nVidia card is disabled in the bios. Thank you for that data point.

Bug reports are handled by humans, the majority of whom are volunteers, so please bear this in mind. With that noted, please stop with your baseless accusations, and personal attacks as it's just simply rude, and distracts from getting bugs resolved. I frankly have better things to do with my time then be on a personal vandetta. The information is being asked for so that this report may move forward, and Rob may get his bug fixed. If you want your report to stall and not be fixed, then continuing to not provide requested information well within your abilities to do, and be rude to people, would do this.

Christopher, please stop sending me private emails asking me to file a separate bug, especially when you say things like: I'm personally not inclined to respond to non-original reporters of a given bug report, despite them insisting on it's a duplicate, as they tend not to respect how it's making it harder to triage the report. WHAT? So what is the point of Bug Heat, and why would I start that counter over on a new bug report? I'm sorry, that makes no sense to me. Also, I have checked some activity on other bugs you have commented on, with the same canned answers.

[Bug 1247189] Re: [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user
Adam Niedling, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach missing debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (rc3, not rc4 as it doesn't have the all necessary files) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed.

Rob, don't listen to him. I got into an argument with him at bug #131094 and now he's here on a personal vendetta. He's just gonna keep asking for irrelevant information until it gets so difficult to answer that he can close this bug. Christopher, I don't recognize your authority, leave this bug report alone! Until someone from Canonical confirms that your activities are valid I don't want you to touch this bug report! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247189 Title: [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1247189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I found a workaround that works fine for my i5 laptop with nvidia optimus card. Install the latest nvidia drivers and reboot. After that the user switch does work again. sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319 nvidia-prime -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247189 Title: [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1247189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: 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.
