Public bug reported: Environment Ubuntu 14.04, lightdm, unity
The problem occurs while trying to switch to another running user session. It brings black X screen instead of password prompt window. Steps to reproduce: 1. Login as user1 //creates X on vt7 2. Switch to new user session for user2 //creates X on vt8 3. Try to switch to user1 session via indicator-session //creates X on vt9 with black screen This bug is similiar to a bunch of registered bugs related to incorrect file permissions. But none of advices helped. I found out that only blacklisting of nouveau kernel module helps I attached logs from /var/log/lightdm ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "ligthdm log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273162/+attachment/3958799/+files/lightdm_log.tgz ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) => ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273162 Title: Switching user brings black X screen //nouveau To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1273162/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
