I reset all the relevant packages back to the versions used when I originally filed this bug (luckily I stashed an sosreport), and I was able to reproduce.

This is using the UDA (non-server) drivers, but the user for originally reported the bug to me appears to have been using the -server drivers as you surmised. I tried switching to the 525-server driver and I still experienced an issue with switch user, but the symptoms are different. Instead of entering a new login for a few seconds followed by a gnome- shell crash, this seemed to immediately kick me out of the switched-to session with no gnome-shell crash. Since this is likely a different issue, I reported it as bug 2016193 to keep the threads separate. -- 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
