[Bug 622926] [NEW] Switch User fails on return trip

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: indicator-session

Lynx 10.04.1 
Up-to-date. 
Nvidia 3DForce FX5600 card.

DESCRIPTION:

Switching users is not reliable; when switching users, often when
returning to the first logged-on user, the computer ends up a blank
screen and I must turn it fully off with the power button. Success is
somewhat likely if a minimum of programs are running. I prefer a
complete log-off, as it is.

OTHER INFO:

Because there is a lot of screen flickering generally during these
operations, I have taken care to make the monitor settings identical.
But this doesn't help.

I use Ubuntu Lynx with Gnome desktop.  I have an Nvidia 3DForce FX5600,
set to 1280x960 at 60hz; displayed on a ViewSonic VG2021m. "Desktop
effects" is set to lowest/normal (solves bad screen-flicker issue). The
gnome-power-manager app is removed because it caused problems when
logging off.
