[Bug 40011] Re: Three users switching leads to blank tty9

I must have grabbed an older version of the script. This has the required 5 second wait that the previous one did not. ** Attachment added: gdm_vt_fixer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/40011/+attachment/1737798/+files/gdm_vt_fixer -- Three users switching leads to blank tty9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40011 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 40011] Re: Three users switching leads to blank tty9
I've created a workaround for this bug. 1. Copy the attached file to /usr/local/bin/ 2. sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/gdm_vt_fixer 3. Add the following to /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default before the exit 0 command: /usr/local/bin/gdm_vt_fixer 4. Restart GDM or reboot. The script will be run after a GDM session ends(a user logs out). It will wait five seconds and then check that the virtual terminal that is active is associated with an existing X session. If it is not, it will switch to a VT that is running the login window. If there is no login window it will switch to a VT of some existing X session. ** Attachment added: gdm_vt_fixer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/40011/+attachment/1736893/+files/gdm_vt_fixer -- Three users switching leads to blank tty9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40011 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I agree with Erik Meitner. This bug prevents user switching entirely. If I accidentally select Swich From on a single-user system, I have to kill my session or reboot to continue.

These Gentoo bug reports have some interesting discussions about similar issues: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312017 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261339 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288852 The patch in 312017 (comment 9) does not apply cleanly I'll try to get it to apply this weekend. Hours of searching has turned up little else. This bug is quite important to those of us trying to implement multi- user workstations with the flexibility of multiple logged-in users. We can't expect users to know about CTL-ALT-Fx commands in order to get access to a login prompt. Is it known whether this bug affects ALL 10.04 systems with GDM?
