[Bug 1247189] [NEW] [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm using a freshly installed Ubuntu 13.10.
As soon as I click on a different user I want to switch to in the gearbox menu I get a black screen and nothing else is happening. I'm still able to SSH to that box and top does not show any process taking 100% CPU. Alt+sysrq+b is able to reboot the system.
I had no problem like this with Ubuntu 13.04 on the same computer.

Update: There is no issue if the nVidia card is disabled in the BIOS and
I'm using the integrated video card of my i7 CPU.
