[Bug 76902] Re: Switch user crashes system.
I can confirm this bug. Switching users when compiz is enabled crashes the xserver. Reproduceable steps: login user A switch to user B enter password at gdm for user B switch back to user A HALT This is happening to a lot of users: see also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/46018 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/64023 I am using an nvidia card, but one of these bug reports is about an ati card. They also specify it does not happening when the users use metacity. One of the bug is incorrectly marked as a duplicate of an ati crash. The common factor in my experience and these bug-reports clearly is compiz-fusion. They also both specify (like in my experience) that logging in to another user through GDM does not crash the system. So i'm re-opening this bug. And marking the two other bugs as duplicates of this one. Can someone please verify that compiz+fusion with gutsy + fast-user-switching-applet works for them ? And if so, what is the graphics card used? -- Switch user crashes system. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

More info: It turned out to be a Beryl or Nvidia bug for me. Switching to metacity before switching to another user prevents the hang-up.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu Feisty. I checked the /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog and found following error right before the computer hangs itself: Feb 7 18:43:04 poppie ntpd_initres[6317]: ntpd returns a permission denied error!

[Bug 76902] Re: Switch user crashes system.
Do you have anything to /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog about that? That's likely to be a linux bug, whatever an application do you should not have to reboot the computer -- Switch user crashes system. https://launchpad.net/bugs/76902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76902] Re: Switch user crashes system.
I just tried the same proceedure with gnome-screensaver. The system logs did not report anything during a crash. BTW, I do not think the error message stated above has anything to do with the problem at hand (Researched the issue on the Net).
