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.
