You have been subscribed to a public bug: I'm running Lucid 64bit, installing updates every day. I have two users on my machine, and I switch between them using the indicator applet. Sometimes, the switch works without issue. Sometimes, the switched-to session does not appear, and the screen is black until I find the first session by trying control-shift-f7, control-shift-f8, etc. Other times, I switch, the second session does not appear, and I can't find the first session, either, and I have to restart gdm from control-shift-f1. Still other times, I can't reach any virtual terminal -- all are black -- and I have to break out of the situation by ssh'ing in from another machine on my network.
I realize that this bug may well not be with the indicator applet, but the applet is where I'm triggering it. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- "switch from..." option results in lost x sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557779 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
