  [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user

  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.

  WORKAROUND: Disable the nvidia card in the BIOS.
