Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
Our home desktop computer (running ubuntu 11.04) is used mainly by two users, my wife and me. We have the screensaver to lock the screen when inactive. Now, 60% of the times when we switch from one user to the other it seems that all the running applications of one user are closed. The procedure is like this: * The computer is idle with both users logged in. * The screen is blank (due to inactivity) * I move the mouse to wake the screen. * The login window with the user name of my wife appears. * I click the "Switch User" button. * The main login window appears (with both user names) * Both usernames contain a green checkbox (marking that the indicated users are logged in) * I click my name and enter my password. * The screen blanks for a few seconds and then the login window (with the two usernames) appears again. * The green checkbox has been removed from my name. * I select my name and enter password, again. * Login succeeds but ALL my applications are closed, as if I logged in for the first time. This is getting very annoying because I constantly lose the state of work. Chrome also complains that it didn't shut down correctly and if I want the restored the closed tabs. I am running: Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 GDM version is: gdm: Installed: 2.32.1-0ubuntu3.2 Candidate: 2.32.1-0ubuntu3.2 Version table: *** 2.32.1-0ubuntu3.2 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.32.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages What kind of other information do I have to post in order to facilitate a futher investigation or possible solution to this issue?
