TenLeftFingers, 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 updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) 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-rc4 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. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 546578 black screen after a few user switches ** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560911 Title: Switch user -> Log out -> Black display until reboot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Copycat - A blackscreen can also appear due to a bug in the ATI driver - workaround involving gnome-screensaver (goto bug #546578)] Binary package hint: nvidia-graphics-drivers To reproduce: 1) Choose another user in your FUSA menu. 2) After logging in to that users account, log off. Expected results: I expect to see GDM Actual results: I have a black screen Note: I can still press enter and type my password to log in. I knew this worked from the sound of my hard-drive. To be certain, on a subsequent test, I did ALT+F2 and ran "touch testfile". After a reboot, there was a file called 'testfile' in my home directory. But all this was performed with a black screen.
