This is seems to be a bug for gnome-terminal, not the x session. But the log looks a little familiar. > https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/10/msg00603.html This is similar, but not quite as raw as what I experience. I don't have to exit one of the x sessions, only start x from tty1 and the greeter spawned x will crash. However, starting an x session on tty1 and then log in on tty2 as another user, I can happily switch between tty1 and tty2. I'll get a log from x tomorrow. I keep wondering if it is down to the '-novtswitch' option added to xorg by lightdm. However, these steps at the top of the thread will reproduce in a qemu vm, and that uses gdm, maybe systemd does something weird with vt7? -- Best regards, Ed http://www.s5h.net/
