I need to deploy the machine from scratch each time I access it, so I won't be able to run that command in the same install. I tried reproducing again from scratch, but this time "switch user" immediately aborted w/o generating a gnome-shell crash. I'm not sure what was different - I do know that the nvidia driver I was using has been updated in the distro, so at least that had changed.
Re: nouveau_dri.so - I realized that I'd only installed the nvidia driver packages and not the "full stack" - i.e. nvidia-driver-525 and dependencies. Perhaps I was running with an unsupported config the first time. I tried installing that stack and reproducing again, but this time I saw no problem doing "switch user" at all. At that point my reservation expired and I was unable to collect logs from this session. Next I'll try to do this all over again, making sure to install both nvidia-driver-525 linux-modules-nvidia-525-generic and see if I can reproduce. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2015386 Title: gnome-shell crashes after "switching to" a new user from an existing login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2015386/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
