[Bug 561538] Re: Logout after switch user cause black screen

 

Lê Kiến Trúc, 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-rc3

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.

Title:
  Logout after switch user cause black screen

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

  I have this bug on both my computer and my laptop.
  This effect me scine Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 alpha to now Beta 2 with all upgrade.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Login to user A.
  2. Choose switch user from User A.
  3. Login to user B.
  4. Logout from user B.

  After that the screen just go blank. The music from Rhythmbox of user A still playing, I can't swith to tty1 (by ctrl + alt + F1), but I can use the Magic SysRq key to reboot the system.
  In my laptop it's usally happen, it rarely happen but exist in my computer. I think this bug is very critical because I need to use many user for testing application and translation of ubuntu.
  There aren't any logs in my computer (except something about Pulse before the crash).

  And in my laptop has some logs
