Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet
If you: 1) Log in as user A 2) Switch to user B and log in 3) Switch back to A 4) Log out A and then log back in as A 5) Switch back to B 6) Switch back to A then you get a black screen. This occurs because when user A logs out and in, it changes the virtual terminal. The applet in user B does not seem to notice this change however, and after switching to user B and back, the applet attempts to switch you to the old virtual terminal. You can generally recover from the black screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt and guessing one of F7, F8, F9, etc. This occurred for me with gutsy. ** Affects: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet If you: 1) Log in as user A 2) Switch to user B and log in 3) Switch back to A 4) Log out A and then log back in as A 5) Switch back to B 6) Switch back to A then you get a black screen.
