This issue was fixed in systemd by https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15318.

Attached is a debdiff for cairo (against the quantal version) that I believe partially fixes this problem. The other part is a change to gnome-control-center, and I will upload that debdiff shortly. For cairo, I applied the following patches: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=83759e7d592c5d7b12b2341574fd584fe5e0fb5a http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=df6780442feba5c0c9404353177f24913b58bd32 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=f34b87f6d76cbea93acd4a8c73c8c6a6b412a302 The above patches are in cairo versions 1.12.4 and later, so raring is not affected.

I'm seeing the same problem. When I run from a terminal, I get: The program 'evolution' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'. (Details: serial 6268 error_code 175 request_code 153 minor_code 10) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[Bug 158245] Re: multiseat gdm won't switch users
I'm sorry, I misread your bug report. The bug in fast-user-switch- applet is related, but not the same as the bug you reported. I do have the same problem as you, however. As far as I understand it, your bug is partially due to a limitation in gnome-screensaver, partially due to a limitation in gdm, and partially due to a limitation in the Linux kernel. I'm not sure the best package to assign to this bug, so I just changed it back to gdm. gnome-screensaver's contribution: When you click on the Switch User button in the unlock dialog box, gnome-screensaver executes the command gdmflexiserver --startnew Standard (see the do_user_switch() function in gs-lock-plug.c). Looking at the output of gdmflexiserver --help, it's not clear to me what the Standard parameter does. The man page doesn't even mention the --startnew parameter. However, I'm assuming that Standard is either ignored or it instructs gdmflexiserver to start a new server as defined in the [server-Standard] section of gdm.conf(-custom). If that parameter is not ignored, attempting to start a new instance of the Standard server is not the right thing to do in a multi-seat configuration like yours and mine. gdmflexiserver's (part of gdm) contribution: I'm less clear about how gdmflexiserver works, but as far as I understand it, gdmflexiserver does its job by firing up a new instance of the X server on an unused Linux virtual terminal. I'm not sure which server section in gdm.conf(-custom) it reads -- it has something to do with the flexible=true option. It could be firing up an instance of the wrong server. Unfortunately, the flexible gdm option isn't well documented. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be a way to run multiple X servers at the same seat without the use of Linux virtual terminals, and this has problems due to Linux's lack of support for multiple consoles (see below). Linux kernel's contribution: Linux only supports one console. That one console has many virtual terminals. Since there is only one Linux console (even in a multi-seat X setup), switching virtual terminals affects all seats (hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you'll see what I mean. Hit Alt-F7 to go back). This is why multi-seat setups should use the -novtswitch X argument in addition to the -sharevts argument. I'm guessing that this limitation is what fundamentally prevents gdmflexiserver from working properly. So from what I can tell, there's no easy fix for this. The best you can do for now is probably set flexible=false in gdm.conf and never use the user switch functionality. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: fast-user-switch-applet = gdm ** Changed in: fast-user-switch-applet Importance: Unknown = Undecided Bugwatch: GNOME Bug Tracker #368704 = None Status: Confirmed = New -- multiseat gdm won't switch users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
