I would say that this brings Nvidia 96 driver to the top of the list as the likely culprit. I do not have to do any user switching at all. Just a logout from the intitial session (kde or fluxbox), passing control back to KDM will cause the issue. Xorg.log does not contain any indication of what the issue is (at least at normal debugging levels).
To clarify the Xorg shutdown step I did it through top using SIGKILL 9, Default SIGTERM 15 would not take it out. I assume that sudo kill -9 <pid> would work equally well. I have another 10.04 system running the Nvidia 195.36.24 drivers and there are no issues. -- Logout after switch user causes black screen and disables keyboard and mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585685 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
