Greeting screen is still working, I can scroll users, open up menus etc but can't get from that screen inside the user's session - it is simply not starting. When selecting other users - they have no password field at all - 5) After returning back to main user session - press Ctrl-Alt-F7 I got: - - wifi network lost its connection. New connection cound't be initialed - when I select my wifi network from drop-down list - nothing happens at all. Restarting networking doesn't help. Restarting Network Manager doesn't help too. Rmmoding/modprobing iwlagn doesn't help too. - - bottom panel is displaed (while it shound't ) and isn't hide - - the message in the bottom panel about lost wifi connection doesn't go away to - - Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work (while I configured system so that it does work) + 4) nothing happens, no message is displayed, password editbox turns white. Greeting screen is still working, I can scroll users, open up menus etc but can't get from that screen inside the user's session - it is simply not starting. Also I noticed that when scrolling through users they have no password field no more. + 5) After returning back to the main user session (Ctrl-Alt-F7) I got: + - No Internet. Wifi network lost its connection and new connection cound't be initialed - when I select any wifi network from drop-down list nothing happens at all. Restarting networking doesn't help. Restarting Network Manager doesn't help too. Rmmoding/modprobing iwlagn doesn't help too. + - bottom panel is displaed (while it shound't ) and is not hiding + - the message in the bottom panel about lost wifi connection doesn't go away too + - Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work (while I configured system so that it does work) - attempting to run switch user again from the user menu just makes the screen to go black. Touching mouse simply turn it on so I'm still in my main session. - switching to the second session (Ctrl-Alt-F8) restores semi-working greeting screen (see (4)) - attempting to initiate computer shutdown from the user menu made my screen to go darker and everything in X stopped answering, so I had to switch to the first tty and run shutdown from there. In short, after trying to switch a user: 1) I didn't get new user session 2) My current session is broken - Network is down, view is screwed - bottom panel etc, shortcuts partially lost. Only computer restart fixes this.
