Exact same behaviour for me resulting from same upgrade to 11.10. Lightdm remains unresponsive after password input. Can select other user from lightdm screen, which removes the password box and does not allow login (tty8)
Can switch back to tty7 and log back in sudo service lightdm restart: fails due to upstream job status sudo service lightdm halt: fails as well sudo kill -9 (job ID): returns no error and job disappears sudo service lightdm start: returns no error. returns jobID, but lightdm does not appear in sudo ps -A sudo start lightdm: returns no error. returns jobID, but lightdm does not appear in sudo ps -A at this point other terminals are inaccessible logout kills the desktop manager, but desktop items remain, and folders can be openned with no decoration, like old xdm ctrl-alt-del sends shutdown signal and tty1 returns -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874872 Title: Switching Users Fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/874872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
