Public bug reported: This bug was present in Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS with GDM, but did a clean install of Ubutnu 16.04 LTS with Unity and LightDM, and the bug is still present.
How to reproduce: 1. Boot the system, wait for LightDM to start and show the Ubuntu Unity greeter. 2. Log in as a user. 3. From the power menu (top right), choose an other user 4. In the password-promt (greeter) for the user, type in the correct password At this point, one of three thing might happen: a- The desktop, desktop icons, Unity-launcher and main menu for the user is loaded. The user can use the system as expected! b- The desktop, desktop icons and Unity-launcher the user is loaded. However, just before the main-menu-bar at the tops loads, the the graphics freezes. I can move the cursor, but that's it. It is not possible to click or do anything with the mouse-cursor. c- Same as (b), but during this process the screen goes complete blank (black), with only the cursor showing (and moving). When (b) or (c), pressing ALT+F1-F6 does not help, the screen just stays the same (except the cursor dispersers). Pressing ALT+F7 afterwards does not bring the cursor back. The system has not frozen. I can SSH to the box and it lives as nothing has happened. It's only effecting the display/graphics. This bug happens about 1/3 of the times I switch the user. Sometimes I can switch to and from users several times (2-5) before this bug comes to life.
