Public bug reported: While I was trying to switch from one user to another in ubuntu 10.04 the system gave me a black screen and crashed. I had to restart the computer.
Unfortunately I can't repeat the same problem to verify it, it has happened during an exam, however I got the syslog and Xorg.0.log files so I would be able to check them. here are the lines that I thing you might have a clue. 949 Oct 12 14:10:08 fbar-desktop gdm-session-worker[21025]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed 950 Oct 12 14:10:23 fbar-desktop gdm-session-worker[21404]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory 951 Oct 12 14:10:24 fbar-desktop gdm-session-worker[21404]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed 952 Oct 12 14:10:28 fbar-desktop acpid: client 20961[0:0] has disconnected 953 Oct 12 14:10:28 fbar-desktop acpid: client connected from 1235[0:0] 954 Oct 12 14:10:28 fbar-desktop acpid: 1 client rule loaded 955 Oct 12 14:10:31 fbar-desktop gdm-session-worker[21414]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory 956 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /proc/kmsg started. 957 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="673" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start 958 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103 959 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101 960 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output file '/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ] 961 Oct 12 14:11:51 fbar-desktop kernel: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset I did not have this problem before and I can't repeat it.
